Professional Learning
The Arizona Department of Education’s English Language Art’s Team has created the Arizona Reading Fundamentals OnDemand Academy. This academy offers schools a variety of free knowledge blocks on demand. Each knowledge block includes several different sessions. Each session includes three recorded presentations and pre- and post- activities.
Districts and schools are encouraged to utilize these resources as a part of a comprehensive professional learning plan that is data-driven, sustained, intensive, collaborative, job-embedded and instructionally focused.
Before you register, watch this INTRODUCTION VIDEO.
As a staff, personalize your own professional learning, block by block. Each participant will need to register for each session separately. Once registered, a link to our Blackboard LMS will be available in your Event Management System registered courses.
