Duluth Edison received a 2025 Innovation award from the Minnesota Association of Charter Schools for our professional development program for teachers.
In 2022, as our District Leadership Team embarked on a 9-month MnMTSS Cohort journey, we quickly discovered many truths that led to an overhaul of how we approach professional development within our district. Much like the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support we provide our students, our teachers also require a teacher-centered and tiered approach to professional development based on research about how adults learn best. A better, more cohesive system and model needed to be developed so we created one! With the principles of Adult Learning Theory in mind and results from staff professional development surveys/ interviews we created a scaffolded, 3-year New Teacher Training and Mentorship Program, a yearly choice-based professional development day, as well as small group professional development through house teams, staff meetings, and the use of our 1:1 instructional coaching model with identified teachers. This new multi-tiered, targeted approach allows staff more professional opportunities directly related to their immediate needs and less ‘wasted’ time in professional development that does not directly apply to their roles, needs, or personal goals. Having an intentional, structured system in place allows our district to focus professional development on our district goals while maintaining previous initiatives and individualizing learning for all staff.
