Professional Development

Professional development is a process of on going growth, through involvement in programs, services, and activities designed to enable teachers,
both individually and collectively, to enhance professional practice.
BCTF Definition: (00 AGM, p. 15) (June 06 RA, p. 8)
SD72 Professional Development is committed to the development and strengthening of professional knowledge and skills and encouraging educators to work together to improve their practice.
The Core Pro-D committee is composed of both teachers and administrators, it is an advisory committee to the Superintendent and provides direction for teacher Pro-D within the district. Professional development must have a positive, accountable impact on student learning and is an expected responsibility guided by current school student success plans and personal professional goals.
