The following are core principles of professional
				  development:
(1) Professional
				development programs will address issues that are relevant to the priorities of
				education improvement and reflect the knowledge base of the profession by doing
				the following:
(A) Reflecting research-based
				approaches to effective adult learning, student learning, and organizational
				change to support ongoing developmental activities. While tapping educators'
				life experiences and drawing on the knowledge base from effective research, a
				variety of modes of learning are used to foster self-directed professional
				development opportunities.
(B)
				Integrating education improvement priorities. Consistent and continuous links
				are made with the school improvement plan, the Indiana professional standards
				board, and the Indiana state board of education policy.
(C) Incorporating both discipline-specific
				and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching, assessment, and preparation for
				the world of work. Professional growth experiences enhance educators' knowledge
				within and across subject areas and their ability to foster and assess
				students' problem solving and critical thinking skills.
(D) Including explicit strategies for setting
				high expectations and meeting the diverse learning needs of all students.
				Training activities increase educators' capacity to implement
				developmentally-appropriate practices to establish challenging learning goals
				and respond to the uniqueness of each student.
(E) Receiving adequate resources. Every
				public school in Indiana must receive the financial resources and support
				services needed to provide the most effective professional development program,
				as described within these principles.
