The Professional Learning Plan is designed to guide professional development over a three-year period, ensuring alignment with district goals, NYS standards, and the instructional framework (The Learning Arc).
Core priorities, such as instructional excellence, real-world learning, and inclusive practices, remain consistent throughout the cycle while allowing flexibility for emerging needs.
2. Annual Review
TEPS Committee meets once each year to:
Review progress on PD goals, staff participation, and evaluation data
Adjust offerings for Superintendent Conference Days and ongoing PD opportunities
Identify emerging needs or shifts in district priorities
Minor updates and adjustments may occur annually, but the overall plan structure and three-year goals remain stable.
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Instructional coach and Assistant Superintendent oversee PD implementation, mentoring, and instructional support year-round.
Staff input via surveys, reflections, and department meetings is collected continuously to inform decisions.
Participation data, feedback, and evidence of impact on teacher practice are tracked to guide adjustments.
4. End-of-Cycle Reflection
At the end of the three-year period, the district conducts a comprehensive review of the plan’s effectiveness, including:
Staff growth and engagement
Alignment with district and NYS priorities
Evidence of impact on teaching and learning
Findings inform the development of the next three-year plan, ensuring continuity and continuous improvement.
