Request+for+Professional+Learning


 * How do I request Professional Learning?

** There are five ways that professional learning can be requested: School Improvement Plan, Administrator Request, Teacher Request, and District-wide Central Office Administration Request. All Professional Learning requests will be sent to a Professional Learning Facilitator. PL Facilitators are assigned to an Executive Director, who will help them make decisions about the professional learning being offered to the schools based on the resources that we have.


 * What type of Professional Learning is Available? **
 * **Coaches**: Currently, MNPS has 1 COMP, 4 Curriculum, 13 STEM coaches and 12 PALS.
 * **Site-based Sessions:** Administrator or teacher leader facilitates professional learning sessions.
 * **Centrally Located Sessions**: These sessions can be at the Martin Center and/or a school location. Several schools would send representatives to the training sessions. Follow-up for the training would be done by Coaches.
 * **Conference Attendance:** Subject to funding availability, so schools may elect to send staff to a conference. Then, the staff would return and train the rest of the staff.
 * **Distance Learning**: MNPS is working to develop a distance learning program.
