6 Professional Development

In any industry or career choice, professional development and ongoing learning is key to achieving satisfaction and recognition. This is especially true for educators and academic staff. Professional development leadership creates an engaging environment where colleagues can benefit from the experience of their co-workers. Ongoing parent engagement is a critical and often untapped opportunity that contributes to both teaching and academic success in a positive way.Teachers know that it’s never too late for continuous learning. While teaching can’t in any way only be taught from a book, there are numerous guides and tools to help support your growth and career development. For example, some provide strategies for building character traits in and out of the classroom while others take the latest in education theory and best practice instruction to new heights via easy-to-navigate guide books. Some essential and helpful topics include planning, instruction, time management and professional growth, along with leadership, working with para educators and student success factors.
