Professional Development
NCSD offers a wide variety of professional development opportunities for employees to help them learn and grow professionally. All schools develop and submit annual Professional Development plans for their sites. NCSD offers additional learning opportunities such as new employee orientation, new faculty mentoring, ongoing professional learning, compliance training, and training such as Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training, CPR/AED, and OSHA. In addition, some of these opportunities are offered for Professional Teaching Standards Board (PTSB) and/or enrichment credit.
