We believe that RSU#3 staff should always strive to learn more about their craft...we also understand that time is limited and that everyone learns in their own way. We would like to start a new way of supporting professional learning in RSU#3 through personalized learning plans.
Our hope is that you will focus your individual learning toward a goal of RSU#3 and then share it with others to build capacity within the district. If you are interested in receiving contact hours for your individualized learning, check out the expectations below.
1. Decide how you want to further your learning on a topic;
2. Fill out the personalized learning request form and discuss your plan with Dawn;
3. Implement your plan and learn, learn, learn (don't forget to document);
4. Share your learning with others at RSU#3!
5. Receive contact hours.
(Personalized Learning Request Form will be available soon.)
Example: You and some other teachers want to read a professional text on a specific topic to support your teaching. You meet regularly to discuss the topic, document your learning and then share what you have learned at a PLC meeting with other staff.
Example: You heard that there is a great teacher at another district (or school within our district) that is implementing a strategy or program in which you are interested. You plan your day, get approval from Dawn, and then model your learning with other staff members of RSU#3.
Other ideas???
All personalized learning plans MUST be approved by Dawn to receive contact hours. If you are interested in personalizing your learning, please contact Dawn for more information.
