Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE)
We are performing a Comprehensive Audit of Teaching & Learning’s Professional Development System to better align the division’s offerings. We are charged with implementing a consistent approach to PD planning, design, and follow-up that is anchored in best practices for adult learning and informed by available data–sustaining focus on highest-priority areas of need in schools over time.
KEY FINDINGS
Research found that focusing PD on concrete materials is more effective than teaching general principles.
Strong teacher-student relationships can lead to higher student academic engagement, better attendance, better grades, fewer disruptive behaviors and suspensions, and lower school dropout rates.
are you ready to take the next step with us?
