Professional Development Partnerships

OSSE, in partnership with the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation (NAPE) and the Southern Regional Educational Board/High Schools That Work (SREB/HSTW) provide high quality professional development opportunities for educators. It is important to provide educators with the resources and supports needed to meet the demands of CTE students. 

The National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity Education Foundation (NAPE) is a consortium of state and local agencies, corporations, and national organizations committed to the advancement of equity and diversity in classrooms and workplaces. Through its four lines of business—professional development, technical assistance, research and evaluation, and advocacy—NAPE is committed to substantially increasing the percentage of degrees earned in STEM fields, especially amongst girls and women. 

Southern Regional Educational Board/High Schools that Work (SREB/HSTW) is the nation's largest school improvement initiative for high school leaders and teachers. More than 1,200 HSTW sites in 30 states and the District of Columbia currently use the framework of HSTW Goals and Key Practices to raise student achievement and graduation rates.

Both NAPE and SREB/HSTW have designed robust professional development programs for teachers which focus on research-based pedagogy to impact student learning by increasing student achievement.
