NSDC/DCPS Leaders for Professional Learning Academy Graduates

The National Staff Development Council/Duval County Public Schools (NSDC/DCPS) Leaders for Professional Learning Academy is a two year experience that models NSDC’s vision for professional learning. Academy members work collaboratively to learn about and solve problems that occur within the district. Through immersion in a model of inquiry-based and problem-based learning, participants gain solutions to the problems they and others bring; experience a model of professional learning that exemplifies NSDC’s Standards for Staff Development; and construct knowledge and develop skills necessary to transform their learning, their work, and their organizations.

Academy Goals

Members clarify, study about, and solve authentic problems related to student learning.
Members construct the knowledge and develop the skills and courage to solve significant problems related to student learning.
Members transform professional learning within their own organizations.
