The Dover Sherborn Public Schools are committed to providing ongoing professional development for faculty, staff, and administrators on all facets of teaching and learning, as well as operations management.
Evidence of the school committees' commitment to quality, ongoing professional development is the fact that a considerable amount of time is dedicated to professional development in the form of early release and full PD days throughout the school year.
The Professional Development Committee prepares a robust professional development day for all Dover Sherborn personnel the Monday following Thanksgiving recess each year.
