District 2 highlights Visible Learning and coordinated unit planning in professional development update
Summary
Instruction staff told the board they used national Visible Learning strategies and districtwide unit planning to create consistent professional development across grade bands, with targeted PD tracks and an updated professional learning calendar for principals and teachers.
Stephanie Glint introduced the instruction and curriculum update, saying she and colleagues coordinate the district’s professional development. She told the board the work centers on shared unit plans and teacher clarity developed over the summer and carried into on‑site sessions.
A presenter described work from the Visible Learning Conference and district implementation of high‑effect instructional practices, noting schools sent teacher representatives to plan common units. "We brought to each other... All teachers from all there were representatives from all 3 schools that came together," the presenter said, stressing the district now has more consistency across grade levels and content areas. Staff also described a professional learning calendar and specialized offerings for arts, athletics and instructional technology so teachers at all grade bands can find targeted training.
Instruction staff asked the board to continue supporting PD as a foundational part of classroom improvement; they said they will monitor data as the school year progresses.
