Who Plans/Designs Professional Development for Your Department or School?

After the SIP is completed, after the PGP’s are reviewed, after the APPAS are evaluated - what then? In your school/department who are the people creating a professional development plan? What are the conversations taking place within that team? Are you involved in planning your own professional development?

The Broward County Schools Strategic Plan for 2010 states that we believe professional staff development enhances a quality school.
This statement makes NOW a good time to start thinking about the professional development needs of your school/department or IZone. Your professional development team for 2008-2009 should be in place ready to take ownership of the professional development process for your school or department.

Did I hear you say that your PD team is already in place? Great! Do you need assistance creating the plan? The Professional Development Support Team at HRD/Davie looks forward to assisting you. Did I hear that you have been charged with designing some of those professional development events? No sweat. Do you need some pointers on how to deliver your event? Are you wondering how to coach your participants to mastery? Are you struggling with choosing a good evaluative plan? Our team can provide courses in the design, delivery, follow-up/coaching and evaluation of your Professional Development. That is what we are all about and all YOU have to do is ask.

Hold on…the phone is ringing. “Professional Development Support. This is Kyna, how can I help you? Why, yes, we would love to provide Professional Development support to your school."

Gotta go for now. Hope to hear your voice on the other end of the line very soon. 754.321.5006
