Welcome to the WCPA Leadership and Involvement Commission!

This commission exists for us to discuss and share experiences related to professional development.

Wikipedia describes Professional Development as:

Professional development refers to skills and knowledge attained for both personal development and career advancement. Professional development encompasses all types of facilitated learning opportunities, ranging from college degrees to formal coursework, conferences and informal learning opportunities situated in practice. It has been described as intensive and collaborative, ideally incorporating an evaluative stage ^[1] There are a variety of approaches to professional development, including consultation, coaching, communities of practice, lesson study, mentoring, reflective supervision and technical assistance.^[2]

Our blog here is for sharing our work.  This includes our ideas, our challenges, our questions, and our successes.  Email your current commission chair, Chris Stindt stindtc@ripon.edu with anything you like, or with ideas for things to post.
