The Board of Education believes in the importance and value of professional development. The district's Professional Development Plan (PDP) developed through collaboration with a professional team of teachers, pupil personnel professionals, administrators, and parents, selected by the Superintendent of Schools, shall describe the following:

  • Alignment of professional development with New York Standards and Assessments, student needs and teacher capabilities;
  • Articulation of professional development across grade levels; 
  • Efforts made to ensure that professional development is continuous and sustained, and that delivery methods have been shown to be effective;
  • The manner in which the district will measure impact of professional development on student achievement and teachers' practices; and
  • Teachers expected participation in professional development (including an estimate of the average number of hours).
