In 2000-2001 there were 3,600 participants, 84.6% identified
themselves as teachers.
Of the teacher participants - 2.1% received more than 120 hours
of professional development, 86.2% between 60 and 120 hours, and
4.2% less than 60 hours.
|
Professional development was delivered
in several ways, depending on identified needs. Two primary formats
included: (1) single events, lasting one to several hours, focused on
a particular topic, skill, or issue; and (2) multiple session events,
either a series of sessions with a single focus or a sequence of sessions,
one building on the previous one, conducted periodically over a several
week/month period.
