bby Publications provides Professional Development training on numerous topics.  The following is a menu of some of our popular professional development formats. Each option can be designed for a total staff, partial staff or combined staffs and provides opportunities for follow-up sessions. When you contact us, we will help you design the format to best meet your needs.

1- DAY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

These are often scheduled on Professional Development days that have been established in the District School Calendar.  If school is is session, the school should provide substitutes to cover classrooms.  If school is not in session, the school may provide professional development units or stipends.

These workshops are usually 30 hours in length (6 hours per day) and are most often scheduled for summer. However, we have also scheduled these during the school year.
