Staff Professional Development

Professional development for the Elmwood Park staff is provided on scheduled in-service days, after school on Monday afternoons and throughout the year in individual settings with regard to specific curriculum needs and school/district wide programs.

All professional development directly relates to the professional development plan as submitted by the superintendent of schools and approved by the Elmwood Park Board of Education.

These activities focus on improving classroom instruction to enhance student achievement. It is the theory of the district that teacher professional development is essential to grow student knowledge and heighten instruction.
