Teachers
OnRamps provides the support you need to navigate the changing landscape of education.
OnRamps delivers yearlong professional learning and development, virtually and in-person, for teachers to transform the quality of their instruction and deepen student engagement.
When a teacher becomes an OnRamps Instructor they join a facilitated network of educators across Texas and have the opportunity to collaborate while enhancing their own practice.
Hours
In 2023-2024, OnRamps Instructors engaged in more than 59,000 combined hours of intensive learning.
Professional Learning and Development
High school teachers of an OnRamps course receive more than 80 hours of training and year-round support their first year with OnRamps, followed by more than 35 hours each subsequent year.
We convene OnRamps Instructors multiple times throughout the year at our Professional Learning Institute, held in the summer, fall, and spring, and we offer yearlong assistance and coaching on curriculum content and instructional delivery in coordination with OnRamps course staff, college instructors of record, and university faculty.
Pedagogy
It has been proven that deepening pedological and content knowledge improves student engagement and academic outcomes while helping students develop key hard and soft skills necessary for college and career success.
For all our dual enrollment courses, OnRamps strategically incorporates innovative pedagogies including, inquiry-based learning, critical inquiry, and peer-instruction.
