Staff Development News
Welcome to Staff Development
The District School Board of Pasco County’s vision document, Pasco’s Vision: A Community of Connected Schools, supports a continuous, flexible professional development program that establishes lifelong learning as a valued expectation for all administrative, instructional and support staff. Participation in professional development results in the use of innovative, effective and efficient strategies focused on specific work requirements, successful teaching practices, and/or leadership behaviors. This occurs in a wide variety of delivery formats such as coursework (college or adult education), engaging workshops, online or electronic media, job-embedded study groups, action research groups, etc. Demonstration of learned skills, behaviors, and strategies positively impacts student performance and organizational growth.
Employees should check with their supervisor about training needs that are either required or voluntary and support their current positions.
