Educator Development and Quality

Meaningful Professional Development

Percent of educators who report they have engaged in professional development opportunities that are valuable and relevant

About this data

The percent of Rhode Island educators who report professional development is valuable and relevant is collected through SurveyWorks, a statewide school culture and climate survey that solicits feedback from educators, students, and families about strengths and challenges in their school communities. In the 2019-20 school year this indicator began to increase and continued to increase; however, in 2021-22 the positive rating declined back to pre-pandemic levels and remained consistent for the 2022-23 school year.
