System Staff Development Goals

The Tennessee State Department of Education defines In-service as a program of planned activities designed to increase the competencies needed by all licensed personnel in the performance of their professional responsibilities. In this context, "competencies" are defined as the knowledge, skills, and attitudes, which enable personnel to carry out their tasks with maximum effectiveness. Five days of in-service education are required in the certified employee's 200-day contract. The Bedford County Department of Education has identified the following domains as important in meeting the system's goals.

Technology Integration in the Classroom
Education Law
Curriculum Development
Special Education
English as a Second language
Classroom Management
Subject Matter or Departmental Related
Teaching Methods/Strategies
Title I
Career Technical Education
School Health and Safety

For the 2006-2007 school year, the building principal has the option to use up to 12 hours to select and provide in-service opportunities for his/her staff as long as those 12 hours fall within the focused domains identified by the system. The remaining 18 of the required 30 hours should also be guided by the system-identified domains. If the principal does not choose to utilize any or all of the 12 available hours, the remaining time should follow the same guidelines.

Available Staff Development Opportunities

The system will provide opportunities during the summer and throughout the 2006-07 school year to receive these hours. Additional opportunities, such as departmental workshops or trainings that would enhance instruction in the classroom, could also count toward the 30 hours. Download the Bedford County Department of Education Documentation of System-Essential In-Service Activity Form to document and explain any activity for which you have not signed a county in-service sign-in sheet. These forms will be submitted to a committee to check compliance to domains. [Examples: A math teacher who attends a workshop on using math manipulatives is in compliance and the hours would be approved; a math teacher who attends a music workshop is not in compliance and would not be approved.]
