LRC-South Professional Learning Sessions
The LRC-South, a project of the NJ Department of Education, Office of Special Education, offers a variety of professional learning opportunities related to inclusive education.
Reserve space for your group/PLC or conduct a PD session with the LRC-South. These sessions can be held at your school/district or at the LRC-South, with direct access to our free library resources and production services.
Session dates, times, and topics may be limited based on the LRC-South staff's availability.
Please review our three options listed below to determine the session type that best fits your needs and then complete the LRC-South Professional Learning Request form below.
Room Reservation / Self-Directed Work Session at the LRC-South
Looking for a space to work or to hold your NJDOE-sponsored training?
Educational professionals, NJDOE partners, Curriculum Writers, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) from local schools, and Community-Based Instructional (CBI) groups are invited to schedule time for their group or organization to work at the LRC-South at Rowan University with direct access to the LRC-South training room, library, and production services.
These sessions are designed and directed by the group, PLC, or CBI instructor with their specific goals or training in mind. LRC staff are not responsible for the planning, facilitation, or supervision of the session, but will be available to assist with library resources and production services as needed.
A computer and projector are available upon request. Please ensure all documents are available electronically (Google Drive, email, etc.) as USB drives are not permitted.
Please note: Our PD Room in James Hall on Rowan University’s Glassboro campus has a maximum capacity of 30 people.
LRC-Based Professional Learning
Groups of five (5) to thirty (30) are invited to schedule time for a structured professional development session at the LRC-South at Rowan University.
During this time, LRC-South staff will lead a PD session for 60-90 minutes. Attendees would then have additional time to utilize LRC-South resources and production services.
These sessions must align with the LRC-South grant to promote inclusive education by proactively addressing the needs of all learners.
Current Topics include: AI in the Classroom, Assistive Technology, Co-Teaching, Developmentally Appropriate Practices, Early Childhood, and UDL.
Additional topics may be available, but will require a minimum of 3 months' notice for development and approvals.
Dates and offerings are dependent on presenter availability.
School-Based Professional Learning
Administrators from an individual school or district may request an in-district professional development session conducted by the LRC-South. These sessions must align with our grant initiative that promotes inclusive education by proactively addressing the needs of all learners.
The session will be presented to school staff and will occur at a school or district location. A virtual option may also be requested.
