THIS IS BECAUSE BY THE TIME I GRADUATE,
SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING WILL BE SECOND
NATURE TO ME.”

Empowering Our Staff

At Summit, we look for people who embody the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that we most value...

 

 

"I accomplished and grew the most as a teacher when I had the ability to collaborate with a colleague. We were able to push our own thinking in terms of curriculum development and create a thorough, clearly differentiated curriculum for the literary analysis project in a way that I would not have been capable of working independently."

OUR APPROACH • Professional Development

It starts with every Summit teacher an empowered, self-directed and continuous learner who is working to improve student outcomes every day. We know that providing students with high-quality, high-impact teachers is one of the most important factors in their success.

Teachers professionally develop skills and knowledge focused on enabling high-impact activities with every student, every day. We do this through an innovative professional development program in which:

  • Every teacher participates in 40 days of professional development each year.
  • Every teacher has access to professional development experiences that are personalized to meet their needs, goal-driven, and supported by high-quality tools and resources.
  • Every teacher's development is linked to student success.
  • Every teacher has the opportunity to share best practices and collaborate with his or her peers to ensure we are always providing students with the highest quality education.

These professional development experiences must ensure that teachers are empowered to drive their own development, growth and improvement.
