In the school district from which I'm retired we were required to have so
many hours of training each year. We had professional growth contracts we
kept and our school system provided staff development which they required us
to attend during the school year. In the summer months they also offer more
staff development for teachers and that goes toward the professional growth
contract for that year. At the end of the year we had to provide
documentation of professional training and evidence of implementation. It
was signed by the principal and filed in our personnel file at the county
office. Everyone had to participate. Many times we had so many new concepts
or programs or techniques to try it was hard to tell which was effective. We
were exposed to alot but used very little.

Hello everyone,
I have a side question for everyone. I know that at every school you can
find at least one more more teachers that say come the end of the year
that
they are not going to have anything to do with teaching all summer. I am
really curious as to how many teachers in your school, to your knowledge,
actually take it upon themselves to do their own professional development.
This can be in the form of reading, classes, or workshops.
What percentage of teachers at your school actually do this?
Thanks,
Stephanie
