5.1  2017-2018 Professional Development Review  (Reports)
Reports:

During the 2017-2018 school year, CUSD offered a variety of opportunities for staff to participate in professional development.  Recent textbook adoptions, new curriculum frameworks, data, staff feedback and our three LCAP goals have created a foundation for the topics and opportunities offered to staff.  Professional development was primarily coordinated through the Learning Department; however, Student Services and individual school sites did have some professional development funds available that were allocated at the discretion of each department and site.  The summary below provides an overview of most of the professional development opportunities that were offered this school year.
