INNOVATIVE AND SUSTAINED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (ISPD)

DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR DISTRICT

CMSCE offers high-quality professional development designed for teachers to increase content knowledge and teaching strategies in three content areas: language arts literacy, mathematics, and science.

We are currently working with ten New Jersey school districts helping both regular and special needs teachers as they work with their students throughout the school year and in preparation for the New Jersey assessment tests.

The CMSCE ISPD year-long training includes standards-based, hands-on workshops and coaching/mentoring sessions designed specifically for your district based upon district textbooks, curriculum, and the Core Content Standards.

Because we want to assist teachers to reach ALL children in their classes we include strategies and activities specifically designed for students with special needs.

Our specially designed, personalized professional development will help teachers in your district better prepare ALL their students to attain high achievement in the classroom and on New Jersey assessment tests.
