What is our Philosophy of Professional Development?

Medfield Public Schools believes that High-Quality Professional Development is a set of coherent learning experiences that is systematic, purposeful, and structured over a sustained period of time with the goal of improving teacher practice and student outcomes. 

We are committed to providing all members of our community with professional learning opportunities that…

• align their purpose and activities with current state, district, school, and individual goals.

• address DESE frameworks, guidance, and mandated training.

• incorporate input from educators whenever possible.

• conform to best practices in research and relate to educators’ assignments and professional responsibilities.

• provide ongoing and meaningful opportunities for collaboration and intentional reflection. 

• leverage expertise within and outside of the district.

• enable educators to acquire and apply knowledge, skills, and strategies that support the needs of all students.
