Office of Staff Development

Welcome to the Office of Staff Development. Our vision is to implement a unified and dynamic standards-based professional learning system that not only differentiates learning and provides universal support, but also aligns directly with our district’s Strategic Plan, The Next Decade: 2020-30. Our mission is to work diligently to nurture a district-wide culture of continuous learning and leverage the available resources to support professional development and extended learning opportunities for both instructional and non-instructional personnel. Additionally, we seek to provide growth and development opportunities for parents and guardians.
