The academic calendar designates professional development days for the District. These days represent time when only staff remain at the school to engage in professional learning and required training. While schools are responsible for facilitating sessions, the Office of Teaching and Learning also coordinates sessions led by Central Office team members which will be offered virtually for the 22-23 SY.

Any office or external provider planning a training or professional development event on a district-wide PD day must seek approval from the Office of Teaching and Learning.

For additional questions, please reach out to Katie Walsh, Director of Professional Development & Programming (kbooth@philasd.org) OR professionaldevelopment@philasd.org.
