What
is Staff Development?
New knowledge in any discipline requires
sustained learning opportunities for staff members. Staff development
offers on-going training opportunities for teachers, administrators and
non-instructional staff. Teachers and administrators need to
continually update their knowledge and skills throughout their careers.
Student learning is directly related to teacher learning.The focus of the Staff Development
workshops for the past six years has been the three, board-established
priorities: Differentiation, Content
Area Expertise, and Technology and Its Integration into the Classroom.
Staff development workshops are offered
throughout the year. In addition, the Staff Development library
contains a wide variety of books, videos and audiotapes.
(The Staff Development database will soon be available
online.) The Staff Development Manual is also
part of this website. The manual details how to receive salary credit
and/or new teacher credit. Click
