Philosophy of Professional Development

 

The professional development of Confluence employees is core to achieving our mission.  As an organization, we strive to embed Professional Development (PD) throughout the workday as well as throughout the year.  Professional learning supports the growth of new teachers as they enter the profession and experienced teachers as they grow in their abilities.  Confluence professional development strives to meet teachers where they are:  supporting their growth in the classroom, in their content knowledge and in their pedagogy. 

 

Attached is the Professional Development Plan for 2024-25.
