OUR WHY

We know that:

● High-quality teaching, leadership, and support professionals are some of the most significant factors tied to student achievement and success.
● Professional development is effective when it contains authentic and relevant curriculum content, is intensive, ongoing, connected to practice, and focused on student learning.

A growing body of research and practice indicates that effective professional development improves both the content knowledge of teachers in core academic areas and the teaching practices of all educators. It also strengthens the learning that supports principals in becoming outstanding educational leaders.

Member surveys identified a need for personalized professional development/growth for education support professionals, teachers, and specialists that supports student achievement and guides students to become global citizens while supporting their professional growth. Surveys also identified a need for professional development tailored to the specific roles and responsibilities of administrators and other educator leaders.

As we evolve as an organization, we will utilize feedback from our membership and research the best practices used in accomplishing/to accomplish our education goals.
