Professional Development

Beatrice Public Schools offers high quality relevant, and timely professional development for every educator in our district. We consider these experiences necessary to help all staff members continue to grow professionally. One of the most important ways we deliver professional development is through the use of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

In Beatrice Public Schools, educators engage in professional learning to continue to learn, grow, and reflect on their practice to help students meet the expectations of the state and national standards.

A professional development schedule is found on the following page.
