Authement Welcome
Do I need to register for sessions?Yes. You must pre-register for all sessions to save your seat. Registration is first come, first served. Once sessions are full,registration will close for that session. There are NO waitlists.How do I register?Log onto any Internet-connected device. Go to www.rpsb.us/PD to view the grade-level specific Program Guides and register foryou sessions. You’ll need to make an account or log in before reserving your place in any session.Can I unregister for sessions?Absolutely! If you change your mind about a session, click on the “Registrations” link on the top menu of www.rpsb.us/PD.You’ll see all of your registered sessions. You can unregister from any of them on this page.I was emailed a ticket. What do I do with it?The ticket confirms that you have registered for the session. It also serves as your ticket into the session. You can either printthese out or access them on your digital device, but either way you’ll need to produce these at the door of your session in orderenter. Each ticket has a QR code that will be scanned and is unique to you.How do I verify I was in attendance?After producing your ticket, the QR code will be scanned. This will document your attendance to the session. Shortly after theevent, you will be able to access your Certificates of Attendance via your www.rpsb.us/PD account. These certificates can bedownloaded, printed, and stored in your professional portfolio for future reference.Am I getting CLUs?Did you know the state is no longer requiring CLUs for certification renewals? Your successful observations are now beingutilized for certification renewals. As a result, Certificates of Attendance will be issued for your records, but CLUs will not beentered into Coursewhere.What if I want my CLUs transcribed on Coursewhere?If you still want CLUs for your participation entered into Coursewhere, you’ll have to initiate this process. Simply log into yourCoursewhere account and locate your transcript. Scroll down the page and you’ll see a box where you can enter the details ofyour attended sessions. Upload your certificates as proof and submit the records. After completing these steps, email CharlotteBryant at [email protected] and request that she verify your hours. Upon verification, the sessions and your hours willappear on your Coursewhere transcript.What do I do when I’m not attending a session?If you’re not in trainings, you should be working at your school. Your principal can advise you further.Are there any lunch arrangements?The host schools are offering lunches and/or snacks for purchase. Teachers also have the option to pick up lunch betweensessions at local restaurants or bring their lunch from home.
Is there a Suggestion Box?Yes! We love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Around the campus there are QR codes that you canscan to access a digital suggestion form. You can also scan the QR code found here .Do I need to complete session surveys?Yes! Session surveys are an integral part of making your experience even better. Please complete a survey at the end of eachsession you attend.How do I use this guide?The guide is organized into three parts. • The first part is an “At a Glance” schedule. This shows each session, it’s location, and it’s time on any given day. Think of this as a snapshot. It’s also the only place where you can find a session’s room number. • The second part holds all of the details related to a session. The sessions are sorted alphabetically so they’re easier to find. Read each description carefully. Some sessions require passwords to register, other sessions are geared to specific schools or audiences. • The third part is a collection of “scheduling charts.” If you’re a visual learner, this may be an easy way to see what is required of a specific grade level or what sessions a consultant is offering.

This strategy has been tried and tested with excellentresults. All students in my class during the 2017 LEAP Test scored Strong in written expression by using this as their go-tomethod for help with creating an essay that hit ALL of the parts of the writing rubric for 3rd Grade.
