Cost:    Costs  associated  with  professional  development  are  funded  through  allocations  outlined  by  SB380,  also  known  as  The  Outstanding  Schools  Act.    Commonly  referred  to  as  1%  Funds,  school  districts  in  Missouri  are  statutorily  required  to  allot  1  percent  of  their  foundation  revenue  to  professional  learning.    Funds  allotted  during  the  2014-­‐15  academic  year  amount*  to  approximately  $513,000.    

Key  Stakeholders    

and  Process  

(Who  helped  design)    

Stakeholders  &  Process:    This  program  evaluation  was  completed  with  input  from  Dr.  Marlie  Williams,  Dr.  Jennifer  Corum,  Mrs.  Becky  Gossett,  Dr.  Jeanette  Westfall,  and  PDC  representatives  Carrie  Gabriel,  Tara  Harvey,  and  Alicia  Newett.    The  LPS  Professional  Development  Program  2013-­‐2014  and  the  Missouri  Professional  Learning  Guidelines  also  guided  this  program  evaluation.  

The  District  PDC  has  continued  to  revise  and  review  the  program  of  professional  development  in  LPS  throughout  the  first  semester  of  the  2014-­‐2015.      The  goal  of  the  PDC’s  work  is  to  provide  high-­‐quality  professional  development  for  all  staff,  working  on  a  process  to  better  leverage  fiscal  resources  to  impact  the  work  of  more  professionals,  and  thereby  more  student  learning.    Additionally,  the  PDC  surveyed  LPS  staff  to  gather  data  to  ensure  that  they  support  professional  development  as  it  impacts  professional  practice  and  student  learning.    The  group’s  goal  is  that  all  professional  learning  be  clearly  aligned  to  the  district  strategic  plan  and  specific  school  improvement  plans.

Evaluation  Process  and  

Key  Stakeholders    

Evaluation  Process:    Professional  development  is  evaluated  through  the  completion  of  survey  questions,  captured  in  the  My  Learning  Plan  database.    The  PDC  district  and  building  representatives,  administrative  staff,  and  instructional  staff  are  key  stakeholders.  Evidence  

of  Effectiveness    

Narrative  explanation  of  the  return  on  investment  the  students  of  the  district  are  

receiving  from  this  program.  Should  include  accomplishments,  strategies  for  improvement,  data  analysis,  

etc.  

Professional  development  in  LPS  during  the  2014-­‐15  school  year  has  focused  on  areas  directly  related  to  the  Strategic  Plan,  district  initiatives,  and  student  or  staff  needs  identified  through  data.    The  overarching  areas  of  professional  learning  include:  

• ICLE  Rigor  &  Relevance  in  secondary  mathematics  • ICLE  Rigor  &  Relevance  in  secondary  ELA  • Deb  Cook  Reader’s  Workshop  in  secondary  ELA  • Technology  tools  in  the  instructional  environment  • College  and  Career  readiness  • ACT  Academy  &  improvement  strategies  • Missouri  state  assessment  programming  • EdCamp  Liberty  • Data  Teams/  Professional  Learning  Communities  • Curriculum  &  Common  Summative  Assessment  data    • Diane  Sweeney  Consulting  • Quality  Matters  

Professional  development  for  special  education  staff  has  focused  on  students  with  autism  spectrum  disorders,  students  with  behavioral  concerns,  co-­‐teaching  models,  and  special  education  procedural  compliance.  

According  to  data,  32,971  hours  of  professional  learning  have  been  accessed  by  LPS  certificated  staff,  quantifying  the  period  from  July  2014  to  January  2015,  according  to  My  Learning  Plan  records.    As  part  of  the  district’s  comprehensive  investment  in  professional  learning  to  grow  staff  expertise  in  instructional  innovations  and  best  practices,  professional  development  dollars  are  spent  to  enhance  instructional  collaboration,  to  allow  staff  to  attend  conferences  related  to  their  work,  to  research  and  implement  innovative  strategies  and  ideas,  and  to  refine  current  programs  and  processes.    Additionally,  professional  development  funding  has  been  spent  on  professional  publications  and  resources  to  enhance  instructional  practice.  

Concerns,    

Goals  for  Next  Year    

and  Program  Needs  

Concerns:    The  PDC  has  worked  to  align  the  district  and  building  PD  plans  and  continues  to  support  this  process.  Budgetary  allocations  need  to  address  departmental  priorities  from  a  systems  perspective.    The  role  of  PDC  representatives  continues  to  evolve  as  PDC  strives  to  have  a  greater  role  in  district  professional  development  initiatives.  An  additional  concern  being  addressed  by  the  PDC  is  the  alignment  of  survey  items  to  level  of  implementation/impact  of  professional  learning  on  professional  practice.      

Goals  for  Next  Year:  Provide  professional  development  that  directly  affects  staff  and  student  needs  in  2014-­‐2015.  

Needs:    Adequate  time  and  staff  engagement  for  planning,  revision,  and  implementation  of  revised  processes  and  practices.
