High Quality Teachers Clause Samples

High Quality Teachers. The educational model places emphasis on ongoing professional development to help effective teachers and leaders build on their expertise. Professional development begins with the on-boarding process, where the focus is on the distinctive educational model, its research support, and how to use this research to inform daily practice. Once on-boarded, faculty have the support of robust professional development bolstered by internal staff expertise, external partnerships with selected educational providers, and instructional resources. Time for professional learning is embedded into the school’s daily schedule. Faculty members will have access to a number of best-in-class programs, including local and state conferences and programming offered by our educational partners. Within the staffing model there are key positions whose roles are designed to support faculty professional development. These teacher leaders will facilitate collaboration to evaluate student work and data using a PLC process. In addition, they will support planning curricula, designing assessments and sharing best teaching practices across the school.
