NNU’s new Center for Professional Development in Schools
- Provides on-site assistance to small, rural and urban schools for sustained improvement of instruction and curriculum resulting in student achievement;
- Provides continuing professional development growth opportunities for school district adminstrators;
- Draws from the expertise of local and national education practitioners, based upon best education practice and research;
- Provides technical assistance and university credit for self-designed and self-initiated projects for improvement of instruction and curriculum as well as administrative professional growth.
For example, the Center for Professsional Development in Schools can help
- elementary schools wanting to improve students’ math understanding by improving teachers’ skills in teaching mathematics
- 5th grade teachers who want to differentiate instruction to be more effective in language arts and reading instruction
- school districts that know they can improve students’ understanding of physical science by providing in-depth professional development for teachers
