Greetings Directors and Evaluators:
This is a reminder for the fourth installment of our SPDG Director's Professional Development Webinar Series - April 19, 3:00pm-4:30pm ET. Participants of this session will learn about: (1) how to engage administrators in their PD initiatives; (2) how PD for administrators fits into a systemic change framework; (3) how to examine fidelity through a lens of cultural responsivity; and (4) how the Michigan SPDG has formalized their PD approach for administrators. Tools described will include practice profiles (core components of PD for administrators) and guidance for administrator engagement.
