Professional Development Opportunities
Professional Development through the CDEP Plan is intended to improve the quality of teaching and learning by ensuring that teachers participate in substantial professional development in order to remain current with their profession and meet the learning needs of their students. All professional development activities are directly related to student learning needs as identified in the school report card and are aligned with the New York State learning standards and assessments.
Technology Focused Training will support the definition of Professional Development as established in the CDEP.
