Tailored Professional Development
Southeast Alabama Regional Inservice Center Teacher Consultants are prepared to work
with our area school districts to design unique programs to meet specific needs. Leadership
teams meet with administrators and leadership teams of teachers to determine content
needs, delivery strategies, and scheduling. Tailored staff development provides districts
with the necessary tools to meet the increasing demands of Writing Assessments, Subject
Area Testing Programs, and Alabama Course of Study based assessments.
Classroom Demonstrations with Debriefing/Teacher Mentoring
Teacher consultants present process-based lessons in teachers' classrooms, aligned
with state and district standards. Small groups of teachers are debriefed on the strategies
used in the demonstrations. Classroom demonstrations have been so successful that
schools are now requesting scheduled classroom demonstrations as an integral part
of their professional development programs.
Book Study Groups
Southeast Alabama Regional Inservice Center (SEARIC) staff assist school faculties
in choosing relevant reading material for a year-long book study. During regularly
scheduled "book club" style meetings, SEARIC consultants facilitate discussions of
the reading and when appropriate, model strategies for classroom implementation. Often
book study sessions are held during teachers' planning times so that this program
does not interfere with daily instructional time.
On-line Book Study Groups
SEARIC staff select relevant reading material for a five-week book study that targets
specific strategies. During scheduled on-line meetings, SEARIC staff facilitate discussions
of the reading and when appropriate, model strategies for classroom implementation.
Book study participants develop and share lesson implementing strategies spotlighted
during the book study.
