Professional Development
Highly skilled teachers are key to school-wide academic success. Professional development can help teachers acquire new teaching strategies, maintain and develop content-area knowledge, and brainstorm with other teachers about what's working for them. To be effective, professional development should be meaningful, ongoing, and of high quality.
