National Board for Professional Teaching
Professional Development Sessions

South Dakota’s Teacher Quality Enhancement Project, EveryTeacher, is pleased to announce a number of professional development opportunities hosted by the Board of Regents and the Department of Education and Cultural Affairs.  These events will focus on the project’s common text of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).  The intent of EveryTeacher is to develop a knowledge base that will provide a common foundation for professional development programs for pre-service and practicing teachers and paraprofessionals.
