Professional Development

The Irvington Public Schools will support the goal of improving student achievement by providing quality professional development that opens the doors to improved teaching and learning through content rich, research-based instructional practices. In-Service days provide the knowledge and skills necessary to refine the craft of our teachers for their work in the classroom. Teachers continue to make paradigm shifts by ensuring that students are provided with multidimensional instruction and assessment; and, our support staff also engage in professional development that provides them with opportunities to contribute effectively to the overall school climate.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction will continue to strive for academic achievement of all students and increase avenue for students to be successful in the rapidly changing 21st century.
