Welcome to Secondary Summer Learning in LISD!
The information provided in this site will give you an overview of the secondary professional learning courses available during the summer months.
You will need to acquire 6 total hours of trade credit this summer. Additional hours earned this summer will be applied to November Trade credit. A total of 12 hours of November trade credit must be earned by end the of March 2022.
Based on your teaching assignment for the upcoming school year, the 6 credits will be made up of MANDATORY AUGUST and OPTIONAL sessions. Different teaching assignments will range from 0 - 6 creditS of MANDATORY learning.
To plan your summer experiences, first determine the number of MANDATORY AUGUST credits you will need to earn based on your teaching assignment. If you do not know your specific campus teaching assignment for next year, talk to your principal or content administrator for recommendations.
Based on this number of MANDATORY AUGUST credits, then select OPTIONAL learning sessions to ensure that you have acquired 6 total hours this summer. For some teachers, this will mean selecting 3 hours of optional credit, for others all 6 hours will be made up of mandatory learning.
To determine what is MANDATORY and OPTIONAL for a certain teaching assignment, follow these steps:
Select a Content Area to Browse:
Scroll along the top of the site to find the primary content area that you teach or support.
Identify Mandatory and Optional sessions for your teaching assignment:
Mandatory sessions will have a gray background on the screen.
To determine if the session is mandatory for your teaching assignment, refer to the list of teaching assignments listed under "REQUIRED FOR". If you see your teaching assignment in this list, this is a session that you will need to attend.
You will also notice teaching assignments listed under "AVAILABLE TO". Teachers in this list are welcome to attend for trade credit, but the session is not required.
Calculate the Credits Earned from Mandatory Sessions
Identify all of the Mandatory sessions that are associated with your teaching assignment. Be sure to follow the links in the description to register for the course.
Add up the total credits earned from Mandatory sessions. If the Mandatory session total does not reach at least 6 hours of credit, you will need to make additional course selections from the optional courses to meet the required 6 credits this summer. Be sure to browse in Digital Learning tab for additional offerings.
Any credits earned beyond the 6 credits for this summer will be applied toward November Trade credit.
