The Board of Education recognizes that effective
professional growth must continue to occur throughout the careers of
all teachers to assure that teachers remain informed of changes in
pedagogy, subject matter content and standards, and pupil needs.
Professional growth requirements aligned with the California
Standards for the Teaching Profession are required in order to
maintain the validity of the clear multiple or single subject
teaching credential.
The District shall provide opportunities for certificated
staff members to participate in professional growth activities to
meet the requirements for credential renewal. Such
opportunities as defined by the legislature and the California
Commission on Teacher Certification include but are not limited to
professional conferences, workshops, district staff development
programs, school curriculum development projects, and systematic
programs of observation and analysis.
