To meet our ambitious Destination 2025 goals, the Department of PD and Support has developed an approach to district professional development:

Build Teacher Capacity: Ensuring teachers understand the purpose and structure of the standards and how to effectively prepare for and implement standards-aligned curriculum.
Build Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) Capacity: Setting a clear vision of what standards aligned instruction looks like and an understanding of how to use data (student performance data, informal observations, etc.) to build responsive cycles of professional learning.
