Professional Development and Consultation (PD&C) is the unit that oversees training and consultation services for the School Development Program. Its mission is to help schools and school districts build the support systems needed to fully implement the Comer Process. Professional Development Opportunities PD&C offers opportunities for professional development at The National Academies at Yale, Regional Professional Development Centers and Demonstration Schools. At the national level, ongoing professional development opportunities provide participants with a deepened understanding of the Comer Process and an increasing array of skills for implementing it. The programs are designed to help schools and districts develop leadership teams that are prepared to provide the energy for change. New best practices and new knowledge about the model are continuously incorporated into the content of the academies and the opportunity to learn with peers from throughout the country enriches the experience. Consultation Services The Professional Development and Consultation Unit also provides customized consultation and services. Would you like to have a needs assessment conducted? Are you looking for special assistance in setting up a school-university partnership? Would it be helpful to have an experienced Comer professional facilitate your child-centered planning process?
