Our Student Learning Facilitator (SLF) Program Since 2003, the Northwest Regional Professional Development Program has sponsored its SLF Program to teachers who are interested in a long-term and intensive professional development experience. With their administrator's recommendation, K-12 teachers sign up to participate in this program for two years. Each semester, participants are thoroughly challenged to further develop their use of research-based instructional practices; at each semester's end, our participants are observed using their honed practices by colleagues at their site. The goal of our SLF program is to improve student achievement by improving teachers' use of engagement strategies, assessment practices, and differentiated instruction. Here is our visual overview of the SLF Program's Content and Expectations. Here is a copy of the SLF Program Flyer that we share with interested teachers and administrators. On this page, you will find links and resources used by SLFs during the two years they spend with the program. If you're interested in signing your school up to participate in this program, contact Kindra Fox from our Contact the NWRPDP Page. |
