PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Rockport Public School District values systematic, purposeful, and structured learning experiences, that improve teacher practice and student outcomes. We encourage educators to continually acquire and apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities to address student needs and district, school, and individual goals.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (PDC)
The RPS's PDC's purpose is to:
1. continually develop, review, and
revise the Rockport School District's
Professional Development Manual.
2. review and make recommendations
with respect to the Rockport School
District's Professional Development
Plan. Said recommendations will be
presented to the Superintendent for
his/her review and approval.
3. oversee the implementation of any
PDC recommendations that are
approved by the Superintendent.
4. provide feedback and suggestions
for the professional development
being offered, work to ensure that all schools are being provided with
equitable and valuable professional
development opportunities, and to
encourage professional staff to
develop and provide professional
development to their peers.
