The purpose of the Staff Development Department is to provide high-quality research-based professional learning opportunities that build the knowledge and skill of educators and lead to effective teaching practices, supportive leadership, and improved student results. The Staff Development Department works collaboratively and serves in an advisory capacity with departments and schools in the district that offer professional learning to properly award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for the maintenance of professional licensure of the staff.
