School District Takes Professional Development to New ‘Heights’
Columbia Heights Public Schools is taking its professional development opportunities for staff members to a new level this year. The District is offering a more personalized approach, allowing staff to really hone in on the areas they want to expand.
This school year, each District In-Service Day will begin with Equity Book Clubs to provide an opportunity for small groups of colleagues to delve into conversations around equity, the necessary and urgent progress we must make, and how we can use our learning to better serve our students and families.
The second half of In-Service days will be dedicated to Professional Development Pathways – of which there are 17 for staff to choose from including topics like Arts; Practice & Grow: College and Career Readiness for All; Supporting Striving Readers During Elementary Core Instruction; We Are Resilient: Building Trauma-Responsive Classrooms and more.
Openings in PreK 4!
Columbia Heights Public Schools offers FREE full- and half-day PreK 4 programming! There are currently openings at each elementary school! Space is limited, register now!
