What professional development opportunities are available to SFFS faculty?
A SFFS is deeply committed to individual and collective professional development, encouraging faculty and staff to attend workshops and conferences locally, nationally, and internationally. Our teachers have received state technology grants, have been the recipients of Fulbrights for study in Japan, and currently serve on national level science curriculum development committees. Teachers new to SFFS attend a Friends Council on Education workshop entitled, “Educators New to Quakerism,” and visit Quaker schools in the Philadelphia area. Many teachers have attended “Responsive Classroom” and “Schools Attuned” workshops, programs that are particularly well aligned with our mission.
