Improving and sustaining student achievement depends upon teacher understanding and professional growth. Professional development that supports teachers’ learning in an on-going and in-depth manner fosters deepening understandings, change, improvement, and student success. It is the cornerstone of school reform efforts. The Professional Development Initiative (PDI) currently involves two projects that provide flexibility for schools or districts in these efforts: The Professional Development Series and the Summer Literacy Institutes. It is the case that other projects will be designed or created as PDI strives to maintain an active and timely role in comprehensive school improvement and research efforts. |
