Are local professional development activities acceptable for the Performance/Portfolio Assessment?
Yes. Professional development can be offered at the district, school, grade, or classroom levels and it can include a wide range of delivery methods. For example, if a paraprofessional visits another classroom to observe the instructional assistance techniques of a more experienced paraprofessional, then this is a form of professional development.
