The format of the Professional Development Program for Spotsylvania County Schools is two-fold. In-house and graduate courses along with study groups provide the framework for developing professional growth. Bringing in outside consultants helps to infuse new ideas into the program.
Individual schools provide a framework for developing professional growth.
During the past seven years, the division-wide professional development program was evaluated annually using course evaluations. Local and federal funding support the program. Today, the group has expanded to include some SOL resource teachers.
