About Us
An effective learning community for students and adults in schools requires highly skilled administrators, teachers, support staff, and others working together to ensure the achievement of all students. A major component of each of the MCPS Professional Growth Systems is a rigorous evaluation process and a continuous program of professional development.
We build the capacity of our workforce in order to provide the best possible education for our students, to achieve our goals of equity and excellence, and to promote a culture of respect for all.
