Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Supporting Teacher Growth Through Inquiry How do we support teacher growth through inquiry? As educators across the state navigate the complexity of new teacher-evaluation processes, it is imperative that schools focus on professional development experiences that support teachers’ learning and work in the service of student learning. This program focuses on a teacher- and studentcentered approach to professional learning that allows for individualized and targeted professional development opportunities to meet both teacher and student needs. It will guide teachers in using a self-assessment (through the lens of the Danielson Framework, and more specifically through a focus on Components a, b, d, and e of Domain 4, and other teacher evaluation tools) and/or student learning data to generate an action-oriented inquiry plan.
