Summer professional development for HISD full-time teachers

All full-time HISD teachers are invited to attend two districtwide summer professional learning events and receive $100 per day upon completion of session requirements. Payment will be received in October.

• July 26-28, 2022: Instructional Impact Institute (I³)
• August 1-3, 2022: Curriculum in the Classroom Camp (C³)

During I³, teachers can build their own schedule for three days of learning facilitated by departments across the district. Hourly lecturers, associate teachers, teacher assistants, and paraprofessionals are welcome to attend but are not eligible for compensation.

This year, I³ is face-to-face and will take place in three locations across the city: the HISD Education Learning Center (HELC) in the northeast, Hines Caldwell ES-Kingdom Builders Center in the southwest, and Milby High School in the east. All sessions will be offered at all three locations.  

To sign up, select your location in OneSource #1480140. Then review the sessions and pick your location. You must pick one location and attend all sessions at that same location to be compensated.

More than 100 choice sessions will be available from the following strands: College & Career Readiness, Communication/Customer Service, Data-Driven Instruction, Effective Instructional Practices, Family Engagement, HISD Curriculum, HR/New Employee Sessions, Instructional Technology, Productivity-Information Technology, Social Emotional Learning, Special Education Services, Special Populations, and Student Support Services (Wraparound Services).

When you register in OneSource you will be provided a link to Sched, our conference app, which goes live on Thursday, July 21. Once you download the app, you may select your sessions. Bookmarking sessions in Sched does not guarantee you a seat in the session. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, and capacity is based on room size.

Lunch will also be provided all three days, which is why you must select one location and attend all days at the same location. Your OneSource registration is your “lunch ticket”. You will only be compensated if you attend the location you selected in OneSource. Make sure you scan in and out each day with your HISD badge for attendance credit and be sure to complete the survey at the end of each session for OneSource credit.

You must have your HISD Employee ID to register. Be sure to bring your HISD ID badge and wear it so that it is visible. You will be scanned in and out each day for attendance purposes. Buildings can be cool, so bring a sweater or light jacket. Masks for indoor gatherings are encouraged but not required. Be sure to bring your mobile device. Printed handouts will not be distributed, and all materials will be accessible via Sched or Canvas.

To inform our planning, please take a few minutes to complete this survey to express your interest in participating and share your thoughts about how the district can improve your professional learning experience.
