Professional Development Department

 

 

Welcome to the Union City Professional Learning page where professional learning is a pathway to student success.

 

The Union City Board of Education is committed to provide, promote, and monitor high quality professional development that is comprised of professional learning opportunities aligned with State, school district and school level goals with the primary focus on student achievement and success. A district professional development/learning cadre in collaboration with each School Improvement Panel (ScIP) develops and implements professional development plans that align with the TEACHNJ Act, are rich in content, and broaden the knowledge and skills of teachers, administrators, and Educational Support Personnel (ESP) in grades pre kindergarten through adult.
