Fairfax County Public Schools is adding seven early-release days for elementary schools next year to accommodate an uptick in teacher trainings from the state.
“We’re going to be expected to do a significant amount of state-required professional development, and it’s good professional development, we’re not fussing about it,” Fairfax Superintendent Michelle Reid said at a recent school board meeting. “It’s appropriate and a good and right thing to do, to think about how we improve our literacy performance for our young learners.”
The increased training demands come as school districts work to implement the Virginia Literacy Act, which aims to boost early-literacy outcomes and adds about 27 hours of training for teachers in grades K-8. The state is also rolling out new math and English standards that will require additional training. Some educators have said they’ve never seen so many new training expectations from the state at one time.
