Teacher Development

The Teacher Development department supports new and experienced teachers in their professional development and growth. As a department, we strive to uphold our mission to ensure teachers demonstrate professionalism, pursue teacher leadership, and positively impact learning and achievement for all students. Throughout our programs of teacher support, we utilize evidence-based practices such as cycles of inquiry, reflection and peer coaching and collaboration. Coaches are experienced and highly skilled educators who provide mentoring and support to new and experienced teachers and participants. Coaches are also equipped by our staff with research based professional development that fosters their coaching skills and instructional leadership. At FCSS Teacher Development, we believe in the impact of a job embedded system of support that allows coaches and their mentees to improve in their teaching practice through collaboration, reflection and ongoing coaching.
