Agenda Item Summary: The upcoming Professional Learning Day is on February 18, 2022. The focus of this day will be on a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), which may include social-emotional learning, differentiation for diverse learners, technology integration, data collection and analysis, or fidelity to instructional programs.
Background: In ACPS, professional learning:
• Aligns employees’ intentional actions to division, school, team, and personal goals
• Aims to enhance staff’s knowledge, skills, mindsets, and behaviors to improve student outcomes
• Happens collaboratively in learning communities and requires engagement with feedback and continuous follow-up
• Uses identified data to evaluate learning and focus on students’ results

Since the professional learning sessions will focus on MTSS, ACPS staff should choose the sessions that fit their personal, team, or school learning needs and improvement goals as well as the needs of the students who they directly support.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information within this brief.
