Professional Development
Professional Learning is a commitment to continuous improvement and lifelong learning. The Irvington UFSD encourages a structured and varied approach to professional learning through collegial collaboration, Instructional Coaching, consultants, workshops, webinars and many other formats to improve the learning environment for all students.
Professional Learning Plan
The District's professional development plan, developed by a committee of teachers and administrators, is designed to offer many opportunities for learning that are aligned with District goals and initiatives. The mission and vision, structures for learning, and overview of department and building goals can be viewed in our Professional Learning Plan.
Tri-State Consortium
The Irvington School District is a member of the Tri-State Consortium. The Tri-State Consortium is a "dynamic learning organization of public school districts that values systems thinking as the foundation for continuous improvement. The Consortium assists its member districts in using quantitative and qualitative data to enhance student performance and to build a rigorous framework for planning, assessment, and systemic change. Collaborating as colleagues and critical friends, Consortium members apply the standards of the Tri-State model to benchmark member districts' progress in advancing teaching and learning."
The District has participated in hosting visitation teams from neighboring school districts to assist in the District's desire to examine several of its practices.
