Professional Development
To help our students achieve success, we value professional development for our staff. Professional development provides opportunities for staff members to demonstrate a growth mindset and learn more about effective instructional strategies, technology integration, and curriculum design.
Professional development generally refers to ongoing learning opportunities available to teachers and other education personnel through their schools and districts. Effective professional development is vital to fostering teachers' learning and building their capacity to develop curriculum and learning opportunities that support student success, and create meaningful connections with students, and illuminate links between content and students' everyday lives.
Professional development at C-I Schools centers on how we can be proactive about meeting, and responsive to our students' needs.
The professional development we offer is grounded in the strategic plan created with our community and is focused on making the results our community desires a reality.
C-I Schools teachers can obtain re-licensure clock hours by accessing professional learning resources on our re-licensure page on the district professional learning site. Further information about these courses and a form to submit certificates from these courses for CEUs can be found on the re-licensure page.
During in-service days, teachers are provided with many different opportunities for growth. The C-I School District has chosen the following professional learning themes for the 2022-2025 cycle:
- Learning for Every Student, Every Day
- Social Emotional Learning/Mental Health
- Bluejacket Culture and Climate
- Effective Teams and Partnerships
- Systems and Technical Training
