Professional development should
be designed to facilitate teachers developing and applying the skills and
knowledge necessary to support student achievement. The goals should focus on student academic
needs and the skills and knowledge teachers need to meet those goals. The end result should be improved professional
practice that leads to increased academic performance in students.
The goal of the Professional Development Capacity Building toolkit is to provide resources to support systemic approaches to improve professional practice, enhance the quality and outcomes of professional learning and improve student academic performance. This is not a NCDPI recommended list but a source that can be used to facilitate meeting the learning goals for professional development.
