Office
of Professional Development
The Office of Professional Development
(PD) is located in office 1084 at the
bottom of the sidewalk steps at the
Heartland Educational Consortium (HEC)
facility. Dr. Debra Elliott, Coordinator
and Heidi Barrera, secretary comprise
the PD team. PD organizes and provides
a variety of learning opportunities for
executive, administrative, instructional
and support personnel to assist them in
their quest for improving overall
student achievement.
A needs assessment is developed and
distributed on an annual basis to all
teachers and administrators in six
districts to determine their
professional development needs.
Workshops and trainings are then offered
throughout the school year and summer.
PD
plays a vital role in helping each of
the school districts in achieving their
own district goals by ensuring a variety
of development opportunities that tap
stakeholder’s potential while enhancing
the knowledge and skills needed for
professional growth. These opportunities
help staff succeed in their job, remain
current on latest research in their
field, and help prepare them for
possible advancement.
