CT&PD experiences are based on a comprehensive needs assessment, with input from the following sources:

scanning sessions of teachers and administrators, configured sub-regionally, convened each fall to discuss needs and react to Center proposals for CT&PD experiences, which are then linked to the Center’s overall advisory group, the Professional Development Advisory Committee ( PDAC);
advisory committees made up of volunteers from the group for which the experience is intended; and
evaluative data collected from previous similar experiences.
