Center for Professional Development

Professional Development services are provided for teachers and administrators of Collaborative and member school districts.  The areas covered include both special education and regular education.  The focus of professional development is on specific topics identified by personnel.  Seminars and workshops are provided to staff throughout the year at various locations within member school districts, and at its location in Hingham, MA.

In addition, the Collaborative coordinates and provides professional development services for the South Shore High School Alliance.  A professional development committee comprised of a teacher from each district high school determines the topics, activities, and delivery system for the Alliance.  The Collaborative is the vehicle that provides the teacher and higher education instructed seminars and workshops for 1500 high school teachers. 

Another service for school districts is the Professional Development Council. The Council is comprised of Assistant Superintendents for and/or Directors of Curriculum and Instruction. The purpose of this group is to provide professional development activities that school districts are unable to financially provide on their own. Further, the Council reviews and selects professional development topics which are timely, and that have a significant impact on instruction.
