What is our Philosophy of Professional Development?

Professional Development in the Medfield Public Schools operates under the core belief that staff development must be ongoing, job-embedded, and include collaboration and reflection. 

With a thoughtful commitment to provide all faculty and staff with professional development opportunities that will...

• align its goals and activities with the Medfield Public Schools Strategic Plan

• partner activities with the Massachusetts Frameworks to maximize student learning outcomes

• reflect “best practices” for improving student learning outcomes at all levels

• offer education about and practice with strategies addressing current social and emotional issues that shape student success

• provide frequent opportunities for collaboration

• expand teachers’ effective strategies to meet the needs of all students

• support teacher’s use of technology to enhance instruction
