Mission Statement

The Department of Professional Learning envisions a learning community where all staff members can access personalized, job-embedded, high-quality professional development opportunities. Our goal is to provide an ecosystem of learning that is inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of job title. Professional development is an ongoing process that should be purposeful, collaborative, and driven by student learning and behavioral data.

We have adopted the EPIC system, a collaborative and purposeful approach to professional development, to achieve this vision. The EPIC system is a progression of learning opportunities that provide time for learners to implement new skills and assess the impact of their efforts on student learning. The EPIC system includes coaching, mentoring, workshops, online learning, and team-based opportunities designed to support all staff members' professional growth.

We are committed to providing a culture of continuous learning where all staff members are supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our professional learning system is designed to be responsive to the needs of our staff members, with a focus on building capacity, sharing best practices, and promoting a growth mindset. By embracing the EPIC system and providing personalized, job-embedded, high-quality professional development opportunities, we will empower our staff members to positively impact student learning and success.
