RIBTS Training

The Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education standards for teacher preparation programs include training in the Rhode Island Beginning Teacher Standards (RIBTS) for cooperating teachers, practicum instructors and RIC faculty. The Feinstein School of Education and Human Development requires all cooperating teachers and clinical instructors to provide documentation that such training has been completed or to complete the training. To assist teachers, the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development provides RIBTS workshops, offered at the Student Union on the RIC campus, that provide a basic understanding of what these 11 standards are and how they are used to evaluate student teachers.

CEU credits are available and apply toward I-Plan recertification.

Due to limited classroom space each workshop is limited to 25 participants. The first 25 applicants will be accepted. A waiting list will then be created and those on the list will be notified should cancellations occur.

The 2008 summer workshops have all reached capacity. To be placed on a waiting list should cancellations occur or additional workshops are scheduled, please contact Dr. Frank Krajewski.
