Welcome
to Professional Development. The Bellingham School District
is committed to ensuring success for all students through
high-quality professional development opportunities.
Our program is based on the belief that staff members
are learners who continually improve their performance.
We work in collaboration with Curriculum and Assessment
& Evaluation as the Curriculum
Department.
School Board Policy 5340
outlines a systematic process for professional development
that includes whole group, small group, and one-on-one
support. (New Teacher Seminar
Series, Mentor Program,
Coaching Model, District
Learning Facilitators, Grade
Level and Specialist Meetings and Professional
Development Opportunities).
The
Professional Development section of the Teaching and
Learning Web site is designed to provide district personnel
with an easy-to-use comprehensive on-line guide to professional
development courses and events. The 2004-2005
Professional Develop Catalog is available online.
