NCDPI – RESA PD CALENDAR

Providing a Statewide System of Support for Professional Development in NC

Through the NC Race to the Top (RttT) Grant, The NC Department of Public Instruction provides a cadre of leaders who develop and deploy yearly professional development opportunities to NC educators across the state. Regional Professional Development Leaders serve as professional development resource developers, workshop leaders, and professional learning community coaches; Curriculum and Instruction and Information and Technology experts from NCDPI will provide specific opportunities for participants to delve deeper into understanding the new Common Core State and NC Essential Standards.

Professional development is afforded to lead teachers, principals/administrators, Central Office Administrators, LEA and Charter School professional development leaders, and university and college staff in educator preparation programs on various topics such as the NC Standard Course of Study, the NC Educator Evaluation System, Data Literacy, 21st Century Skills, and Strategic Planning of local Professional Development.


About the PD Calendar

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s Professional Development Initiative (PDI) 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 initiative will pinpoint professional development needs at the LEA and Charter School level 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.

In partnership with the Regional Education Service Alliances (RESAs), NCDPI can host professional development sessions in each of the eight regions of the state. The RESAs are responsible for providing locations, registration and certificate of completion. Please refer to the contact information below to register for the trainings on the calendar.
