It's time to hit the road and visit five National Parks over the course of the 2020-2021 school year!
Each camping trip will stop at one of parks highlighted below and will spotlight one of the domains on the Personalized Learning Coaching + Development Rubric. While camping, teachers will opt into one of four indicators to focus on while they experience the self-directed learning cycle. At the end of each trip, teachers will join synchronously for a PL Campfire and a chance to share and collaborate with others across the cohort in Dallas ISD.

PL Camping Trips Travel Dates
Sample Camping Trip Experience
Each camper will use their park guide to navigate the self-directed experience to continue to grow as a personalized learning teacher. Over the course of the trip, campers will:
- Select a phase by choose one of the four domain indicators from the PL Coaching and Development Rubric to narrow learning.
- Set a goal to determine what they want to learn.
- Plan for how they will achieve their goal.
- Learn new strategies to support personalization through asynchronous learning in Schoology (estimated time 45 minute) and put new learning in action in the classroom.
- Show and tell through a synchronous PL Campfire Chat with other teachers who are working towards similar goals.
- Reflect on learning and the self-directed learning cycle.
More information on how to join a camping trip will be shared October 1st!
