Professional learning supports educators in integrating and using federal, state, and district initiatives in content, instruction, and intervention strategies to increase student achievement.
Based on identified professional learning needs, the district generates a district-wide Professional Development System that is research- and/or evidence-based, specifies how the plan will be evaluated, and aligns with the Florida Protocol Standards, identified student and educator learning needs, educators' level of development, School Improvement Plans, Comprehensive K-12 Reading Plans, Title I Plan, annual performance appraisal data, discipline data, school environment surveys, assessments of parental satisfaction, other performance indicators, and the district strategic plan.
The district's professional learning supports implementing state-adopted content standards for student outcomes.
The district's system of professional learning includes dissemination of the Florida Protocol System to all staff who plan and facilitate professional learning.
At least annually the district identifies professional learning needs through a school-by-school analysis of disaggregated student achievement by content area and skills, behavioral data, and other district data.
The district's professional learning is based on research- and/or evidence-based instructional and intervention strategies proven to increase student achievement.
