Professional Learning

Professional learning at Greenville High School is designed to empower educators to grow, collaborate, innovate, and continuously strengthen their practice in support of student success. Through relevant and engaging learning opportunities, teachers are encouraged to explore effective instructional strategies, respond to student needs, share expertise, and apply new learning directly to their classrooms. 

Please use these pages as a resource to assist with professional learning.   It is extremely important that you register for the professional development courses on the portal (if you do not register, you will not be able to receive credit).  Each month will have a variety of required and optional opportunities in which teachers can participate. 

REMINDER: Greenville County School District Professional Development Requirement

• All teachers must participate in a minimum of 24 hours of professional development (PD) during each school year.

• At least 12 of these 24 hours will be offered by the school/principal.
