Professional Development
The ultimate goal of the Stone Ridge Professional Development Program is threefold: increased student learning; continuous, responsible growth for all employees; and the creation of an environment for learning that gives life to the School’s mission. Defined as a process that fosters personal and professional growth for individuals, the Stone Ridge Professional Development Program is rooted in the vision of the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education.
A key element is an emphasis on the development of leadership skills. Rooted in the School’s mission, Professional Development provides an opportunity to build leadership skills in all employees. Developing leadership at all levels contributes to the creation of an authentic and collegial community of learners, and it models a core value of the institution for students.
Stone Ridge supports its employees' commitment to lifelong learning. We value continuing education, and our faculty and staff attend local, national, and international conferences for professional learning. Some of these opportunities include:
- attending national and local conferences (e.g. NCGS, NACAC, NAIS, POCC, AISGW, ACTFL, AIMS, NCTM, FinalSite, etc.)
- attending international conferences or workshops through the Network of Sacred Heart Schools
