Professional Development
The Rockport Public School District values systematic, purposeful, and structured learning experiences, that improve teacher practice and student outcomes. We encourage educators to continually acquire and apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities to address student needs and district, school, and individual goals.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (PDC)
The RPS's PDC's purpose is to:
1. continually develop, review, and revise the Rockport School District's Professional Development Manual.
2. review and make recommendations with respect to the Rockport School District's Professional
Development Plan. Said recommendations will be presented to the Superintendent for his/her review and approval.
3. oversee the implementation of any PDC recommendations that are approved by the Superintendent.
4. provide feedback and suggestions for the professional development being offered, work to ensure that all schools are being provided with equitable and valuable professional development opportunities, and to encourage professional staff to develop and provide professional development to their peers.
