• Is research-based, job-embedded and on-going;

• Builds a shared vision that supports collaboration;

• Builds capacity for all employees;

• Includes resources to support ongoing work;

• Is meaningful and relevant to the learner;

• Should be offered by various modes of delivery (face-to-face, blended, on-line)

• Must be grounded in inquiry, reflection, action and evaluation;

• Must be aligned and evaluated against district mission and goals;

• Results oriented
