August Staff Development
2017-2018
HISD Sets August Trainings
Planning is underway for HISD staff development for August. What is important on your campus? What can we get scheduled? Click here for the current schedule.
Region 7
Region 7 Virtual Back to School Conference has 1 hour webinars over many topics. Pick one or pick as many as you want, but you can only be enrolled in one session at a time. Canvas is the platform used by Region 7. Each person will have to create an account. Directions are in the link above. Make a day of Back to School sessions sitting in your chair on your own computer. Registration has to be done and sessions must be complete between 7/31 until noon on 8/14.
Required Trainings
GT Update - pending
Dyslexia PK-8 - 6 hours
This class requires a copy of The Dyslexia Handbook. We have 15 copies bound as of now. After discussing this with counselors, they are going to take the course and provide me with notes about the training and where they need support. Teachers really need to understand the indicators for dyslexia. Due to the need for this training to support teachers, the counselors will be asked to facilitate on the PK-5 campuses.
Science Safety - 4 hours
Texas Gateway
Texas Gateway classes are available free of charge to all Texas teachers. Teachers must sign up individually for an account. The district does not keep up with passwords and have no technical support for Texas Gateway. If they forget their password, hit Forgot Password. More classes are being added annually. We will use Texas Gateway for Science Safety 3-12 and Dyslexia (PK-8).
