Message from Teaching & Learning
As part of our district's 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, we have been charged with ensuring all Forsyth County employees receive relevant and appropriate professional development. In order to evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of professional learning in the district, we are asking that all certified staff participate in Learning Forward’s Standards Assessment Inventory. You should have received an email invitation for the inventory from plm-services@amplify.com on Tuesday. Please complete the inventory survey at your earliest convenience.
We look forward to sharing more and learning alongside you in the months to come!
