Description¶

The brief states the success of a POG will likely hinge on the ongoing professional growth of educators tasked with facilitating POG competency learning, and that investing in ongoing PD is crucial with dedicated funding allocated for educators and leaders. PD should emphasize core POG competencies and offer practical strategies for integrating these skills into teaching. Establishing an assessment community of practice through regular meetings, online collaboration tools, and shared repositories could drive assessment innovation.
