The Adjusted Dismissal on Wednesdays will give teachers and staff the opportunity for ongoing, sustained and job-imbedded professional development designed to improve teaching and learning for all students in PUSD. Ongoing and sustained professional development is mandated by the federal No Child Left Behind Act and the state’s AZ Learns Program. More important, professional development assists our teachers, administrators and staff in identifying students’ academic needs and designing strategies that help all students learn and achieve to their highest potential.
