PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Professional Development effort builds on already-strong regional and statewide professional development programs and resources to provide a comprehensive, targeted, seamless, and flexible system for all educators. This effort will pinpoint professional development needs at the LEA and school levels and assess the degree to which current resources exist in the State to meet those needs. Where resources do not exist, DPI will develop or broker them on behalf of the LEAs. 

DPI is also providing a cadre of regional Professional Development Leaders to serve as professional development resource developers, workshop leaders, and professional learning community coaches.  Additionally, content specific experts from DPI will provide specific opportunities for participants to delve deeper into understanding the new Common Core State and NC Essential Standards. Professional development will be provided for teachers, principals/administrators, LEA professional development leaders, and university and college staff in educator preparation programs.

Select the Teacher, Administrator, District Leadership Teams, and College and University links to review information regarding specific professional development offerings.

  • Professional Development for Teachers is intended to ensure that every teacher in NC has a thorough understanding of the standards and can implement them to improve student outcomes.

  • Professional development for Administrators will provide training to principals and instructional leads focusing on management and coaching of teachers under new standards.

  • Professional development for District Leadership Teams is intended to extend the training and support that started with the 2011 Summer Institutes.

  • Professional development for Colleges and Universities will build collaboration and understanding of the new standards to impact Schools of Education teacher preparation programs.
