Professional Development (General)

Learning Activity

Successful implementation of Tier 3 is contingent on high-quality professional learning and ongoing support being available to staff members. Effective professional learning is research-based, consistent and ongoing, convenient, relevant, and differentiated and includes training, practice, feedback, and coaching or other follow-up procedures and supports (Nobori, 2011; Ismat 1996, MO DESE 2013). A systematic plan for professional learning (PL) that connects to the school and district mission and engaging all stakeholders in the planning and implementation process are critical steps to ensure desired outcomes for fidelity of implementation as well as improved student academic and behavioral success (MO SW-PBSs, 2018).
