In order 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 often seen as vital to school success and teacher satisfaction, but it has also been criticized for its cost, often vaguely determined goals, and for the lack of data on resulting teacher and school improvement that characterizes many efforts.

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:
