Chinook's Edge professional learning is focused on building teacher capacity. The CESD 5 Year Professional Learning Plan shows an approximate timeline of key learning. The timeline may shift based on readiness of schools for this learning, as well as Alberta Education's provincial priorities. The stages in the growth process are indicated through a deepening of color. The lightest color is the awareness / exploration stage, the next shade is the developing stage, and the darkest color is the refinement stage.
