Local school authorities shall develop continuing in-service training programs in accordance with the provision of the Standards of Quality, as follows:
Each school division shall provide a program of personnel development for instructional personnel. This program shall be designed to help all personnel increase proficiency in performing responsibilities.
Underlying the Standards of Quality is the desire that local school divisions will provide in-service and staff development activities consistent with locally identified needs. Planning shall include representation of professional personnel. Such activities may include in-school staff development endeavors, classes with college credit, classes without college credit, or other activities which the school division determines to be appropriate for the needs of staff.
