Grant program invests districts in the achievement of Delaware’s academic vision  

 

The Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) today announced the award of more than $3.8 million to school districts as part of the state’s Reimaging Professional Learning Grants (RPL) program. Nine school districts were awarded a total of 15 grants to support professional learning that will impact 99 schools and more than 60,720 students statewide.

 

The 2022-2023 RPL grants fund professional learning plans are grounded in the use of high quality instructional materials (HQIM) and create the conditions and structures that enable the state’s academic vision of every student leaving school ready for success in college, career, and life. The DDOE recognizes that to achieve this vision, teachers must provide students with high-quality, standards-aligned instruction every day. For teachers to be fully prepared for every lesson, school leaders must then provide teachers with HQIM and the support needed to use those materials well. RPL grants are one of the state’s many initiatives to support educators in this work.

To further support school systems in the design and execution of high-quality professional learning plans aligned to HQIM, the DDOE has also released the Online Delaware Professional Learning Vendor Guide and annually hosts the Delaware Professional Learning Summit that is open to all districts/charters.
