We are committed to offering opportunities for qualified teachers to “step-up” into leadership roles while providing guidance on self-development, to promote their individual career goals and trajectory.

• NESA Conferences,
• Reggio Emilia Training,

We also provide our staff with online PD opportunities through reputable institutions such as CAEL, Harvard Business School of Education, KDSL and others. In addition, on a monthly basis, we set aside time on Early Release Days to host on-campus training for our staff to move forward on school wide goals often conducted with the assistance of internationally recognized presenters such as Dr. Tom Schimmer, Dr. Richard Cash and Dr. Theresa Arpin.

Finally, all our staff have access to the Teaching and Learning Center where teachers can work with our Technology Integration Specialists and our Instructional Coaches for one-on-one learning opportunities to improve their competencies or discover the latest strategies supported by research.
