The
plan describes a process of sustained
professional development for administrators,
teachers, paraprofessionals, and other
personnel. The plan outlines professional
development that ensures teachers become
and remain qualified and effective
in their content areas and that promotes

practices, engages teachers in new
curricular designs, explores assessment
techniques, and requires educators
to develop needed skills. The plan

mentoring of new teachers and support
