STRATEGIC
PLANNING:
Training is provided to one or
two teachers, usually as an
orientation for Learn and Serve
grants. Teachers may attend
conferences or summer institutes
on their own to learn how to do
service learning and obtain
resources to assist them.
One or a few teachers from some
of the schools in the district
attend introductory one-day
training offered usually by
outside professionals.
The SDE and its partners
provide orientation training to
subgrantees, fund or organize a
statewide conference, and offer
workshops at other conferences
and summer institutes.
Experienced practitioners within the
building train numerous other
faculty, perhaps assisted by
professional development experts.
The school allows faculty to attend
conferences and other professional
development opportunities, and
helps to secure resources to do
service learning.
Every school sends at least one
representative to a district-wide
training conducted by professionals
with local trainer apprentices.
Trainings are more than one day,
perhaps a summer institute, and
advanced trainings are available.
Coaching is available for teachers
wanting to become trainers.
Principals are trained on occasion.
The SDE and its partners can offer
training to some districts and
schools. Service learning leaders are
convened annually. People are
encouraged to attend the national
conference.
STAGES OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION
A long-term series of workshops is
provided on-site by other faculty and
experts for all teachers. The school has
a professional development budget, and
pays stipends or conference expenses to
secure training for its teachers.
Every school sends interdisciplinary
teams of teachers, who are stipended or
given incentives, to district-wide intro
and advanced multi-year training
conducted by local peer trainers.
Training of trainers is regularly
provided. One-on-one support is
available. Administrators and school
board members are also trained.
Training is part of the district budget.
The SDE and its partners can conduct
training to any school or district on
demand and at numerous conferences.
Service learning is included in other
SDE training. Training is offered as a
means to earn certain kinds of teacher
certification. Graduate course credit is
available. Funding is provided for
people to attend the national conference.
