Professional Development

 

Maclay prioritizes Professional Development for faculty each year providing ongoing resources and tools for faculty to expand their professional horizons and pursue and utilize the latest educational methods. 

  • Develop Curriculum that benefits the whole student.
  • Bridge the departments and services among the three divisions of Lower, Middle, and Upper School.
  • Incorporate Service Learning into curriculum.
  • Prepare a framework of Understanding by Design.
  • Create and evaluate standardization and benchmarks for our students, grades, and divisions.
  • Incorporate an alignment of curriculum from Pre-K through 12th grade by linking courses, departments, and divisions.
  • Evaluate and assess data.
  • Provide opportunities for our faculty to support, share, peer-teach, and grow as individuals

Late Start Wednesday

Maclay has dedicated time, focus, and resources to our Teacher Professional Development Program and cultivating professional excellence. Every Wednesday, school starts at 9:30am for all students so that faculty can participate in professional training from 8am to 9am. Such programs include Learning Communities, divisional meetings (by grade level), subject meetings (academic subjects across all divisions), guest speakers and workshops, and individual planning. The Wednesday late start supports the commitment Maclay has to our faculty and their growth and development as professionals.
