One of the three guiding principles of a Professional Learning Community is a focus on learning. In a school system, that does not just apply to the students, but to the adults as well. This year we are encouraging you to sign up for a session with your Professional Learning Team. We will again be providing sessions focused on our district goals:
By keeping our focus narrow, we aim to do the deep learning, reflecting, and changing that is required to create equitable outcomes for ALL our students. The following courses are intended to help us meet those goals and to be challenging, engaging and productive.

Enrollment
-
Choice in courses creates the best buy-in to new information and training. That said, there will be limits on sizes for each course and there are some courses designed for early career teachers. We will follow these guidelines for enrollment:
- Staff will put in their top selections through a google form and are encouraged to pick sessions with their Professional Learning Team
- Probationary staff may be assigned to specific courses by their administrators and get priority for the courses most beneficial to early career teachers
- If there is not enough room in a particular course, then a wait list will be created and those staff
-
Long Term Goals
The intent of this model is to continue to focus on equitable work on our two district goals. Individual schools will use some of their School Directed Staff Development days to continue work along these themes.
