| Overview |
| The Iowa Student Achievement and Teacher Quality Program sets standards
for how to plan, provide, and evaluate professional development for
Iowa's teachers. Professional development, as described in this
legislation, is for the purpose of increasing student achievement.
Professional development includes learning opportunities that are
included in the District Career Development Plan and the Individual
Teacher Career Development Plan. These professional development
structures address district student achievement goals and the Iowa
Teaching Standards. The Iowa Professional Development Model provides
guidance and technical assistance for implementing district and
school-wide professional development to accomplish gains in student
achievement. This web site provides resources and tools needed to use
the Iowa Professional Development Model to fully implement district,
building-level, and individual professional development plans. |
