Staff Development

District 155 offers internal and external professional development options for its faculty. Program approval forms, course approval lists, and a current calendar of sessions are available to help you plan your professional development over the course of the school year.

The district also offers a two-year New Faculty Induction Program, including a mentor program. The office of Curriculum and Assessment can help guide you through the process.
