Staff Development Programs. The staff development programs of the District shall be operated within in-service guidelines issued by the Kansas State Department of Education. In-service is defined as training, development, and evaluation activities undertaken by certified employees for the purposes of improving instruction, increasing student achievement, and enhancing general job skills. In-service training and related activities may occur both within and outside of the contracted day for certified employees. Professional growth on the job is both an organizational and individual responsibility. On contract days that are set aside for in-service on the school calendar, a variety of staff development training opportunities, either mandatory or optional, will be planned by either groups or individuals at the District, building, department, team, grade, committee or personal level. In order for such variety to occur, scheduled in-service days must allow for flexibility to enable various groups and individuals within the district to attend both mandatory and optional training sessions as well as other job related activities. District and building leadership, including professional learning communities, shall have the responsibility for planning in-service training in either half day or full daytime periods, or during late-starts or early dismissals to the students’ regular instructional day. Professional learning communities are teachers working together for the improvement of student learning. While in professional learning communities, teachers engage in inquiry, action research, data analysis, planning, implementation, reflection, and evaluation of data, as well as professional learning arising from these activities. Generally, such activities will be designated as mandatory for specific certified employees. During optional or non-mandatory training time, certified employees may have discretion in regard to attending District-provided in-service training or working on other job-related responsibilities. Such flexibility is necessary to focus in- service training for more specific or advanced needs in smaller groups rather than in large general session formats. As options are allowed and individuals have more responsibility in regard to staff development goals, certified employees will be expected to accomplish annual minimum requirements through either mandatory or optional in-service work. All certified employees will be expected to obtain a minimum of twenty (20) in-service points p...
