Summary: As a district in Program Improvement, we are required to annually spend 10% of Title I funds on professional development (PD). The PD must meet a variety of criteria including alignment with the district's Local Education Agency Plan Addendum (LEA Plan Addendum). Mt. Diablo's LEA Plan Addendum identifies the need to provide district wide professional development for administrators, coaches, and teachers focusing on the instructional program, high quality first instruction, collaboration, and the development of a district wide intervention plan with a focus on responsive to intervention. (LEA Plan Addendum D.4.11, D.4.1.2, D.5.1.1, D.5.3.1, D.6.1.1, D.8.1.2). Staff identified Dr. Robert Marzano's "The Art and Science of Teaching" two years ago as the district focus to support instruction in the implementation of Common Core State Standards. This contract will cover the third year of this training. All school teams with principals and teachers will participate in either the Year 1 or Year 2 training. All co-administrators will also receive this training during the year.
