Professional Development
Professional development is research-based, founded on student needs, and matched to the teachers’ instructional strengths and challenges. The goal of the program is to improve student performance in the content areas.
The emphasis for the 2005-2006 school year was the continued revision and effective use of
benchmark assessments to measure student mastery of the California/San Marino standards and the
school’s Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs). Professional Development Days are
intended to tighten the alignment of course content standards and instructional strategies to
continuously improve student performance.
In 2006-2007, a comprehensive school-wide needs assessment of every aspect of the school’s
educational program, organizational culture, and operations is being conducted as the basis for
school-wide planning required for the accreditation process. Professional Development time is being
devoted to study groups, data collection and analysis, and other school-community conversations.
In addition to three professional development days, two “banked time” release days, and other faculty
and department activities are intended to continue improvement in reading and writing in the content
areas, critical thinking, and problem solving.
