The professional development goal of the Arizona Race to the Top project is to increase teacher knowledge, improve instructional practice and application in the classroom, and effectively integrate project-based learning. SAREC will provide professional development opportunities to educators in Southern Arizona schools to meet this goal in our region. SAREC is currently focused on Phase II workshops to meet the needs of individual teachers and schools as they implement the College and Career Ready Standards.
Areas of focus to achieve these goals and objectives include the development and delivery of training in three phases.
Phase 1 – Awareness
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards trainings focused on overall awareness, deconstruction of the standards, and instructional shifts.
Phase 2 – Application
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards trainings focused on content knowledge, application in the classroom, and pedagogy aligned to the rigor and expectations of the standards. Phase II workshops address Arizona’s Common Core Standards by incorporating the instructional shifts, mathematical practices, and best practices for instruction and support of student learning as it relates to instructional strategies, student engagement, and critical thinking/problem solving.
Phase 3 – Integration
Arizona English Language Arts/Literacy and/or Mathematics Standards embedded in: STEM, RTI, Career and Technical Education (CTE). Phase III workshops focus on differentiated instruction, content integration across subject areas, project-based learning, and connections to other initiatives. Rigorous, integrated learning and purposeful classroom assessments are emphasized along with the development of significant partnerships.
