Professional Development

In 2005, the Curriculum Alignment and Professional Development workgroups were combined. This was done because there was considerable overlap in their discussions and plans. The Council is working with K-12 teachers, postsecondary faculty, and adult education providers to review and implement curriculum alignment group initiatives in English and mathematics. We are utilizing statewide resources (e.g. the American Diploma Project benchmarks and the Council’s Statewide Postsecondary Placement Policy) in order to avoid unnecessary duplication and to align with state-level efforts. In the future, the Council plans to focus on science curriculum alignment and professional development for instructors as well.
