Learning Opportunities

Disseminate Professional Learning Opportunities

The Department of Staff Development distributes information about college courses, institutes, and professional learning opportunities as opportunities become available. This information should be communicated to your staff.

Teachers will use you as a reference for information about reimbursement for college courses, workshops, seminars, and conferences. This process is clearly outlined in the Reimbursement section of the Staff Development web site. Note: Due dates for submission of requests and receipts are firm. Encourage your teachers to submit all paperwork as soon as possible.

Many professional learning opportunities require teachers to register through Electronic Registrar Online, ERO. Please ensure all staff have the Henrico log in page for ERO and know to use their email user name and password.

 Things to consider:

  • Create a folder in your email application to organize professional development related mail that you may need to reference at a later date.
  • Create an email list to enable efficient communication with entire staff.
  • Copy and paste electronic information from Staff Development into a new email message and add a school specific note to attract attention. Some teachers may not read forwarded messages.
  • Post fliers in prominent location in SchoolSpace.
  • ERO: http://ero.henrico.k12.va.us/
  •  Teachers  log into ERO with their email user name and password.
  • ERO: Distribute the ERO document as needed.
