Swain High Swain County Schools Staff Development Overview Quality professional development programs are inextricably tied to efforts to bring about improvements in education. The concept of the Swain County Schools as a learning community emphasizes that staff development is a critical function of the system if the adults who work with our students are to continue to learn and upgrade their skills. Educators in the schools must be intimately involved in their own learning as they plan staff development activities, train others, and participate as others lead. A culture of respect and caring will result when connections are made with other staff members on a professional level. Continuous improvement is the norm in Swain County Schools, and a variety of staff development approaches is necessary to accomplish the goals of improving instruction and student success. Opportunities for educators to refine their skills will continue to be provided through attendance at workshops and conferences and through college and university course work, but job-embedded staff development will focus on providing the time for employees to examine their methods and develop new techniques. Because adult learning is ultimately self-directed and because 90 percent of effort to improve instruction is lost if there is no follow-up, employees will be required to share what they have learned with others. Staff members will become a network of professional resources to support and assist each other in the development of content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and understanding of student learning and behavior.

Swain High STAFF DEVELOPMENT To promote the growth and development of education in Swain County, all employees are expected to participate in activities designed to increase their job competencies and to foster the concept of a learning community. Staff development will be aligned with the Swain County Schools Strategic Plan and with the individual School Improvement Plans. Adult learning is ultimately self-directed; however, the Board recognizes that it shares with its employees the responsibility for continued training. The Board shall pay reasonable costs, as mutually agreed upon in advance, for any course, workshop, seminar, conference, in-service training session, or school-based training which an employee is required and/or requested to attend by the local administration. A system-wide program of staff development is sponsored by the Board to provide a variety of relevant learning opportunities. In addition, each individual school will design and arrange training experiences to meet its own particular needs. Local expertise will be utilized to the fullest possible extent to meet specific staff development needs, and opportunities for follow-up and implementation of newly acquired skills will be provided.

Extractions: The New ABC's of Public Education The New ABCs of Public Education is a comprehensive plan to reorganize public schools in North Carolina. The new ABC's focus on: Over the past decade, public schools have faced several rounds of school reform efforts including the Basic Education Program and Performance Based Accountability These reforms have helped North Carolina make progress, but progress needs to be made more quickly if North Carolinians want to be competitive. Teachers and principals have worked hard to make changes and to accommodate new educational programs. Nevertheless, many state and local education and business leaders feel that schools have not made the significant changes needed to meet the demands of the 21st century workplace and society. To give public schools a real chance to succeed, however, the General Assembly recognized in its 1995 session that local teachers and principals needed authority to make more significant and sweeping changes.
