Initiatives

Professional Development

We believe that ongoing professional development can enrich teachers’ expertise and experiences. We aim to bring teachers, instructional coaches, and school- and district-based leaders together in collaborative settings to continue to expand and refine the art of teaching. 

Professional development at the Anchin Center is aligned with research-based best practices, as well as K-12 state standards in the content areas. Professional learning hours are offered to participants as they work towards the completion of state recertification requirements.
