Area educators earn Professional Development Certificates
The Institute for Learning Partnership at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has awarded Professional Development Certificates to 26 educators from three area school districts.
The “Accomplished Educators” were certified during a special recognition ceremony Oct. 1 at the UW-Green Bay University Union. Michelle Langenfeld, superintendent of the Green Bay Area Public School District, gave the keynote address to the graduates and discussed how important it is for teachers to continue to learn and to be passionate about what they do in the classroom every day.
“These accomplished educators have demonstrated improved teaching quality and are contributing leadership in their respective schools,” said PDC Coordinator Kim Desotell. “The most important outcome for these educators is they are better prepared to improve student achievement in their classrooms as result of their PDC research and reflection. We are proud of these educators and their work.”
The PDC is a unique, self-paced and individualized professional development program. The focus of the experience is based on student learning as well as professional growth for educators. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction recognizes the PDC for 5-year re-licensure of educators in Wisconsin.
