Staff Development Philosophy
Today, staff development not only includes high-quality on-going training programs with intensive follow up and support, but also other growth-promoting processes such as study groups, action research, and peer coaching, to name a few.
In addition, staff development is no longer viewed as something that is only necessary for teachers. We now recognize that everyone who affects student learning, from the board of education, central office administrators, principals, teachers, to classified/support staff, and parents must continually improve their knowledge and skills in order to ensure student learning.
