Professional Development Request Process
Teachers access professional development opportunities through Frontline, where internal and external training offerings are posted. If a desired professional learning opportunity is not listed in the catalog, teachers may submit a request to have it added. All requests must:
- Align with district goals and New York State standards.
- Be provided by credible organizations or qualified personnel.
Requests follow a structured approval process:
- Building Leader Review – Ensures alignment with building priorities and instructional needs.
- Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Review – Confirms alignment with district goals, professional learning standards, and instructional framework.
- Superintendent Approval – Final authorization for participation and resource allocation.
This process ensures that professional development is purposeful, high-quality, and aligned to both teacher growth and student learning outcomes.
