Professional Development

I believe that all employees should have professional development that includes learning a second language even if one is not present in their current classroom, this would include sign language. I also think that trainings on the newest research for special needs children and helping families find resources should also be a must. It is required to update background checks and basic trainings but keeping up on the latest findings is very important. Too many teachers start in the classroom and then fall behind in the times because they fall into only doing the bare minimum for their own education.
