MARION UNIT 2 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE TEACHERS

Marion Unit 2 offers professional development for the faculty and staff to help them meet the needs of their professional certification and keep them updated on educational changes and new developments in education. Professional development is offered within the district during the school day. Teachers are also given the opportunity to attend other professional development outside the district that is within their area of teaching. We encourage teachers to attend professional development activities and offer suggestions for future professional development opportunities. We extend these professional development opportunities to other schools within the county.


A workshop entitled A Framework for Understanding Poverty will be offered Monday, June 8, 2009, 8:00am - 3:30pm at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center. The presenter is international speaker and author Ruby Payne. The workshop is sponsored by Williamson County Early Childhood Cooperative.
