Vision Statement
Cambridge Public Schools is a multi-generational learning organization built on a foundation of academic excellence and a commitment to promoting an environment of social justice. We are committed to high quality, sustained, data driven professional learning for all educators that builds our capacity to affect student learning across our diverse population. We foster a professional environment of mutual support and responsibility through adult learning that is collaborative, embedded in daily practice, grounded in research and student outcomes, and that balances the needs of individuals, teams, schools, the district, and the state.
Professional Development Goals:
- To improve student achievement by building the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of school-based and non-school based staff;
- To provide learning resources that enhance the basic knowledge, professional development and personal growth or all personnel;
- To recruit, train, and deploy a cadre of instructional coaches, teacher leaders, mentors and facilitators to deliver professional development and instructional services;
- To promote collaborative relationships among all CPS staff, colleges, universities, businesses, and community members that broker resources, expand services, and enrich the work of the Office of Teaching & Learning.
