MCS Professional Learning
“Considerable evidence supports the conclusion that the difference in achievement between students of mainstream and nonmainstream backgrounds is not the result of their differences in their ability to learn, but rather of differences in the quality of instruction they receive at school” (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 1995). The Instructional Design and Innovation Team of MCS acknowledges the role of the teacher in student academic success. Sustained and professional growth toward effective, research based instruction is the overarching goal of professional development provided by Moore County Schools.
