Teacher Support Services
The most important part of education is what happens between
the teacher and the student in the classroom. Whether that “classroom” is
a traditional one at one of our local schools, visiting the
local wildlife refuge to explore the richness that resource
has to offer in the study of science or meeting with California
State Park rangers through videoconferencing in a “virtual” classroom
(PORTS), the Humboldt County Office of Education believes
in supporting local teachers with the information and resources
they need.
Check out the HERC in the Louis
D. Bucher Teacher Resource Center where K-8 adopted instructional
materials in all subject areas are on continuous display.
The Library and Media Center features a 36,000 book collection,
classroom literature sets, early literacy resources, standards
aligned videos, science and math kits and much more. Access
to internet based resources for teachers and students is
one of the newer offerings and is continually being updated
to meet the current needs of teachers.
Support for using technology in the classroom or
help in meeting the challenging needs of English
Language Learners is available. The importance of Visual
and Performing Arts, Nutrition Education,
Preschool Instructional support and
other specialized services for teachers is provided.
Professional
development is a priority at the Humboldt County Office of
Education and we take seriously the importance of providing
the finest instructional leaders and trainings for our local
teachers.
Please explore what we currently offer and let
us know if there are ways we can be of better service to
Humboldt County teachers. As was mentioned earlier, what
happens between the teacher and student in the classroom
is the most important part of education. |
