Staff Development

Memphis City Schools is working hard to ensure that teachers know what to teach, how to teach, and have a command of the subject matter being taught by providing on-going professional development and training for teachers through the districts’ Teaching and Learning Academy.

Staff Development Coordinators provide instructional support through professional development to administrators and teachers across the district. Instructional support includes:

  • Planning professional development that aligns with school improvement plans;
  • Assisting teachers with the teacher evaluation process;
  • Researching best practices, quality literature, and research-based instructional strategies teachers can implement to increase student achievement;
  • Working jointly with district personnel (Human Resources, Academic Superintendents, etc.) to provide support for district policies and initiatives; and
  • Working closely with content area staff development coordinators and New Teacher Induction Staff Development Coordinators conducting workshops during in-services and other network sessions.

Additionally, a professional development catalog is created and organized by staff development coordinators three times a year for teachers and administrators.

The goal is to increase teachers’ professional learning, which will ultimately increase student achievement.
