Definition of Professional Development

• PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT — The term “professional development” means a comprehensive, sustained, and intensive approach to improving teachers’ and principals’ effectiveness in raising student achievement.

Florida Statute 1012.98School Community Professional Development Act

An individual professional development plan must be related to specific performance data for the students to whom the teacher is assigned, define the inservice objectives and specific measurable improvements expected in student performance as a result of the inserviceactivity, and include an evaluation component 

that determines the effectiveness of the professional development plan.

Florida Statute 1012.98School Community Professional Development Act

The professional development system must:Provide for the continuous evaluation of the quality and effectiveness of professional development programs in order to eliminate ineffective programs and strategies and to expand effective ones. Evaluations must consider the impact of such activities on the performance of participating educators and their students’ achievement and behavior.

PD Redevelopment & MLP

• The traditional focus of PD systems has been supporting individuals accumulation of MPPs – no alignment to student achievement

• Redevelopment of district PD systems focuses on a system that supports “college and career ready students” through:

o Focusing resources on priority issues and needs

o Learning cultures providing support

o Actual implementation of new professional learning

o Evaluation of PD for continuous improvement

• MLP

o Help schools improve student growth through effective management and support of educator professional learning

o Supports linkage between PD, learning outcomes, and performance evaluation for instructional improvement
