Public Content Race to the Top Florida Standards Professional Development Action Project (PDAP) Request for Assistance (RFA) Award Across the past two school years, educators in Okaloosa County attended state- sponsored CCSS Summer Institutes. At these activities, administrators and educators assembled in school teams or individually to identify readiness to implement CCSS and create a school or district-based plan to begin this process. Additionally, administrators and educators spent time in training sessions to increase knowledge of the new standards and learned new instructional activities or routines to use in their classrooms and schools. With funds from this PDAP, Okaloosa County School District intends to positively impact all students across the district by providing educator development in two critical areas: English Language Arts/Intensive Reading and Math. These funds will support mini-professional development action projects across all building levels and content areas; however, each mini-project will have a targeted educator audience. Educator needs and student achievement data played a part in determining how best to focus the mini-projects throughout the district.
