Tools for Quality Practice: 
Professional Development

Background: 

This section provides a framework for school-focused professional development highlighting  research-based strategies (including National Staff Development Council findings.)

Why use this section?

  • To understand the link between professional learning and student achievement
     
  • To use research–based practices that help all staff reach all students
     
  • To help each school understand that changes in practice occur at the school level.
     
  • To build a strong network of instructional expertise among teachers and principals.
     
  • To use a framework for easier planning, implementation, and evaluation of school-focused professional development.
