The BCHF Accountability and School Improvement Department annually offers a catalog of professional development seminars on topics aligned to the needs of our sponsored schools. Our partnership requires a commitment on the part of the school for the seminar to result in professional development that makes a difference.
By requesting professional development from BCHF, the school agrees to provide the support necessary to result in successful implementation. Such support includes follow- up, follow-through, monitoring the use of new information and skills, and feedback to teachers or others who are acquiring new skills or learning. A detailed plan of how you plan to follow-up the professional development will be required at the follow-up meeting with your school improvement representative. The active and enthusiastic participation of the school’s leadership team is essential for any program to be successful. In securing professional development services from the Buckeye Community Hope Foundation, the school leader agrees that he/she and the school’s instructional coaches and other administrators will attend and participate in all sessions.
All training is provided at no expense to BCHF-sponsored schools on a first-come, first- served basis. The team reserves the right to cancel subsequent sessions of any training series in cases where the school does not fulfill its commitments. Please note that all professional development for 2024-25 may be provided in virtual formats (Zoom, GoTo Meeting, Google Classroom, Teams, etc or in person. Upon completion of the PD session, the school leader is responsible for providing certificates of participation.
