Why Professional Development Matters
By Hayes Mizell
For business and community leaders, the quality of a community’s education system relates directly to the economic success of the community.
School success translates into tax revenues, real estate values, and community satisfaction. When asked what they want for their children,
parents, and community members overwhelmingly agree that they want the best teacher possible in every classroom. Research confirms that the
most important factor contributing to a student’s success in school is the quality of teaching. While parents may not be familiar with the research,
they are united in their desire to ensure great teaching for every child every day. Professional development is the most effective strategy schools
and school districts have to meet this expectation.

Building Environments That Encourage Positive Behavior: The Preschool Behavior Support Self-Assessment
March 2016
CHRISTINE L. HANCOCK, DEBORAH R. CARTER
From learning activities to transitions, children’s challenging behavior can influence every aspect of a classroom. This disruption often can
overwhelm early childhood teachers, who report feeling concerned and frustrated about classroom management (Hemmeter, Ostrosky, & Corso
2012) as well as underprepared to address challenging behavior proactively (Stormont, Lewis, & Covington Smith 2005). These concerns are
justified for several reasons. Children who frequently exhibit challenging behavior may have fewer friends or lower academic performance, and
research links the persistent challenging behavior of young children to more serious behavior problems and negative consequences as they get
older (Dunlap et al. 2006; McCartney et al. 2010).
