Professional Development
Much of your professional development support will happen at your school site. There are other Districtwide professional development activities, many of which are held at East Professional Center, often referred to simply as “East.”
The Office of Professional Development is located in room 220. The Office of Professional Development promotes teacher growth and development in order to support effective teaching practices and in turn positively impact student learning. We believe in engaging teachers as drivers of their professional growth.
Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the PD website https://www.clevelandmetroschools.org/pd. Here, you will find a catalog with the professional development listings. There is also a page dedicated to new and entry year teachers.
This is also where you can find information regarding proctored assessments such as ParaPro, OTES, OPES and Cress.
