As Guernsey-Sunrise continues to find ways to increase student achievement, one of the things we are doing is to increase professional development for staff. There is research that shows that the teacher is a powerful influence on student achievement. Now an article in Education Week shows research that confirms that students of teachers that have had high quality professional development had higher gains on reading test scores.
One of the obstacles to providing high quality professional development tends to be finding time to implement such programs. It is an area that we will continue to look at improving and working with to enhance the achievement of our students.

Dave,
This is Mike Mitchell.
How are you doing? I have talked to your wife a couple of times but I don't get the opportunity to see you.
Are you going to have any Math or Science openings over the next year or two? If so, keep my wif and I in mind.
