Professional Development Menu
The PD Menu provides an array of opportunities for staff members to grow and learn new and innovative research-based practices. All professional development is designed and delivered by highly qualified teacher-leaders and administrators who have demonstrated innovative teaching and learning practices in their schools and classrooms.

National and Regional Conference
The Rowan-Salisbury School System sends hundreds of teachers and administrators to regional and national professional development conferences each year such as ISTE, NCTIES and other content-specific conferences. Not only do our employees attend these conferences, but they are frequently asked to present as well, sharing the innovative best-practices of the Rowan Salisbury School System.
