A committee of district staff, including teachers and administrators, have designed and approved activities which align with the district goals and objectives. These activities will assist you as an educator in preparing students for the 21st century.

Whether it is a course on local history, technology or autism each program is designed to provide a model that acknowledges educational standards and ensures that students truly understand content and apply it in meaningful ways.

These listings provide a framework for addressing learner variance, using models of best practice such as Professional Learning Communities, Curriculum Mapping, Differentiated Instruction and Understanding by Design.

It will be clear that work of DuFour, Wiggins and Tomlinson are embedded in the practices of these professional development activities for teachers, our most valuable asset.

Check frequently for new dates, times and courses that will be added as we receive them throughout the year.

From walking tours that teach about the history of Saratoga Springs, to technology courses that will challenge your skills, our goal is to offer a diverse list of professional development opportunities for you!
