It is the intent of the Broward Professional Development System to require a Master Plan for any professional development or credentialing/qualifications aligned to the District Priorities and the Strategic plan. Each Master Plan mandates the purpose of professional learning as “increasing educator/employee effectiveness and results for students and/or job performance” as it relates to the design of the plan. Standards-based professional learning focuses on District priorities, strengthens individual performance, and supports the goals of individuals, departments, and the organization as a whole.
A MASTER PLAN:

- Provides guidance for self-assessment
- Helps those who use it to visualize what the desired outcome will look like when it is reached
- Identifies concrete actions for individuals
- Supports the development of short-term and long-term benchmarks
- Provides a basis for professional learning and development
