POLICY TOPIC DESCRIPTION

Planning Professional Development

 

POLICY STATEMENT

The School Improvement Committee and the principal shall ensure that the professional growth and development needs of staff are included in the needs assessment portion of the planning process, and that appropriate objectives and strategies are included in the school improvement plan to provide for these needs for the coming school year.  The principal shall be responsible for ensuring that the school plans professional development in coordination with the other schools and the professional development coordinator for the school district. 

 

Approval of the school improvement plan will also constitute approval of the school professional development offerings for the coming year.  Professional development that is not included in the school’s improvement plan will not be approved by the principal unless there is an individual need that is included in the individual’s evaluation and professional growth plan.
