Standards-Driven Professional Development: In order to provide support to all districts with key aspects of the implementation of the 2009 revised standards (curriculum development, instruction and assessment), the department has created a blended model of professional learning for education stakeholders that includes online learning, 2.0 tools, virtual and face-to-face professional learning communities, and value-added on-site training. The primary goal of this initiative is to create 21st century learning environments that engage students, foster achievement, and cultivate the skills needed to compete, connect, and collaboratein a global society.
