Professional Development Opportunities

Some of the activities listed have been researched and proven to elicit gains in student achievement. These activities are described in two documents: 1) "Educational Programs That Work," which is produced by U.S. Department of Education's National Diffusion Network, and 2) "What Works in the Middle: Results-Based Staff Development for the Middle Grades," produced by the National Staff Development Council. To indicate which activities can be found in either of these documents, they are marked with the following notations:
