Professional Development

OnRamps provides a variety of evidence-based professional development opportunities for K12 teachers, high school campus and district staff, and higher education faculty to increase their impact on student outcomes whether at the local or state level.

Our professional development offerings extend beyond what we provide high school teachers who teach our dual enrollment courses. OnRamps Instructors receive yearlong professional learning and development shaped by research. The focus is on deepening understanding of our course content to ensure fidelity and on advancing instructional approaches to help students learn in and outside of the classroom.

OnRamps Orientation for New Partners and Staff

Before the start of each school year, we provide a half-day orientation for all district and campus staff new to working with OnRamps. This includes new partners, administrators and counselors who are new to their roles. Attendees learn about the OnRamps implementation cycle and all the resources and tools they need for a smooth start. Our current partners and staff can find the latest information about this event in District HQ.
