PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
ISSF has offered numerous programs for professional development. These may include a Writing Institute and other programs of educational interest for Administration and Faculty Professional Development. Two General Meetings that were held each year are held at various locations throughout our community. During these meetings, Speaker presentations were followed by private tours of the venue. These visits provide Administrators with knowledge of the venue for possible student field trips. We hope to resume Professional Development once we are able to. |
LEADERSHIP SERIES
Various seminars are offered annually to Administrators and Teachers from ISSF Member Schools. They feature outstanding presenters in their field. The Leadership Series offers opportunities for advanced professional learning and/or in-service credit for Administrators and Teachers.
