At Monomoy Regional School District, we strongly believe that our teachers should be supported in their growth as educators. We offer a robust program of Professional Development in a variety of formats. 

Learning from Teachers Across the State

• Campuses Without Walls - Allows teachers to connect with other teachers and classrooms outside their districts and schools by collaborating on a curricular unit. CWW was developed in partnership with Boston Public Schools and consists of courses led by licensed Massachusetts teachers. It is free to partner teachers with the aim of improving educational equity by breaking down barriers between schools.  

Options for 15 PDP ELL Requirement for Licensure:

• Annual Course offered in-district at no cost to teachers - see PD calendar and Smart Edu
