Professional Learning Advisory
On behalf of the PL Advisory, we would like to thank the 1,735 educators who completed the Needs Assessment in 2025.
District results from the survey are used to make adjustments to the 2024-28 District Professional Learning Plan, which is shared annually with the Board of Education. Here are the materials provided to the Board of Education for the presentation in May 2025 in the Academic Update as it relates to Success Ready Students.
