Professional Learning
Tooele County School District strives to ensure that teachers receive professional development and support that is substantive and relevant by various means: professional learning communities (PLCs), instructional coaching, workshops provided by the state, district, and various organizations and now...an on-going Professional Learning Series. This Professional Learning Series will give additional options and choices to teacher in completing the yearly minimum 6 hours of additional professional development outside of the school day. This series will also provide teachers the opportunity to learn from their peers and other district personnel about knowledge and practices already shining in the district.
The application below must be completed and submitted to your direct supervisor for a signature and submitted to the Teaching & Learning Department Secretary for approval of Professional Development/Meetings. Should the request be approved, the event will be added to the District PD Calendar. The facilitator of the event is responsible for scheduling the location/meeting room. Requests MUST be submitted by April 15th of the prior year. Requests after the April due date require a 30-day prior district approval.
In Tooele County School District, we work in professional learning communities (PLCs) to continually improve our schools and our educational practice. This approach serves as the foundation to providing the most effective learning environment for our students. To learn more about this approach and how we implement PLCs, click on the link below.
