The support of parents, businesses, educators, and the community is crucial in order to sustain high-quality professional development. What strategies for involving these grups have led to positive results?

Engaging Public Support for Teachers’ Professional Development, a new issue brief from the NEA foundation, offers practical approaches to the challenge. Reflecting the experiences of affiliates, administrators, parent volunteers, civic groups, non-profits, and businesses, the paper explores what works in bringing the community together to create effective support for teachers’ professional development.

The reports discuss lessons learned and real-world solutions of educators who are working to establish high-quality professional development as an integral part of teachers’ daily work.

Engaging Public Support for Teachers’ Professional Development is available free on the NEA Foundation website, along with other foundation publications. All may be reproduced for non-profit purposes with proper attribution to the foundation.
