Funding Opportunities Available for 2006-2007

"The primary purpose of public schooling is to promote student learning. Research has shown student learning is enhanced when jurisdiction staff members have access to effective professional development. . . . To be effective, professional development must be integral to the day-to-day operation of a school. Since resources are limited, PD must be well-planned in consultation with all education partners to ensure resources are used efficiently. Research tells us change occurs over time. Therefore, for PD to be effective, it must be systematically planned, systemic, supported and sustained. A comprehensive PD plan mindful of these factors should result in school improvement and enhanced student learning."
