VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Professional development funding for Complex Areas In order to move decision making closer to schools, it's crucial that Complex Area superintendents and principals have more flexibility and authority over professional development funding for teachers and school leaders. I've implemented changes so that in the upcoming school year Complex Areas will have control over more than $14 million of federal professional development funds — a 65 percent increase over last school year. The federal Title II, Part A funds previously were centrally handled by the State Office. A key aspect of our school empowerment structure is to move decision-making, accountability and resources closer to schools, where it will result in greater impact in student outcomes. Professional development for teachers is one of those areas where differentiated supports based on school- and Complex Area-specific needs is a powerful practice. The Title II, Part A program is designed to increase student achievement; improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals and other school leaders; increase the number of teachers and school leaders who are effective at improving student academic achievement; and provide students from low-income families and minority students greater access to effective teachers and school leaders. Under federal guidance, the funds can be used to invest in such supports as: Establishing or expanding teacher, principal or school leader preparation academies; Establishing or expanding induction and mentorship programs; Establishing or improving school-based residency programs; and Establishing or expanding alternative pathways to teacher certification, especially in high-need areas. Leilehua-Mililani-Waialua Complex Area Superintendent Bob Davis shared that he expects the change will benefit his schools. He believes Complex Areas will be able to not only recommend professional development for schools but provide the funding to go with it. "This will literally be on-the-ground ability to support their needs not just with opportunities but with also the funding for it," he said, adding that schools would also be able to take advantage of professional development opportunities as they arise. I recently issued a memorandum with guidance on professional development, effective July 1, laying out theory of action, operational structure, best practices and accountability.
