Welcome to the Edison Professional Development Wiki!


This Wiki will provide space for us to keep documentation of our professional development at Edison Elementary School in St. Joseph, Missouri. Through our school improvement plan we have outlined what professional development will occur. Here we will maintain accountability for our learning and reflect on how it will impact our instructional practice to improve student learning.
