Supporting Teachers: Design of a Professional Development Conference for Simpson County Schools
Whitney-Emberton, Jennifer R.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Morehead State University
The in-house professional development conference was designed for teachers in Simpson County Schools to connect local educators and show value in their work. This conference was created for a public school in rural south-central Kentucky, but is designed to be scalable to other systems, public or private. Upon completion of reviewing the literature, it was determined that a one-day professional development training workshop would need to be developed in order to continue supporting teachers in professional learning. The training module topics are aligned to the four district needs: District non-negotiables, technology and productivity resources, Teacher Professional Growth Evaluation System (TPGES), and modification and co-teaching. The training modules educate teachers on the introductory aspects of each topic and provide a reflection that aligns with district needs and current classroom practices. The conference framework and documents may also be used for future in-house professional development training.
