The Oklahoma Professional Development Centers are located in Lawton and Norman. Each center is staffed with a director and a secretary who supervise programs and assist educators with needed resources.
The Lawton Public Schools commits additional resources to the Lawton Professional Development Center by providing the facility, operational costs, a part-time aide to assist teachers, and financial services. State teachers and administrators are encouraged to use Oklahoma Professional Development Centers resources which are made available to them through state legislation.
By participating in training sessions, reviewing professional literature, viewing videos on classroom instruction and school improvement, and creating instructional materials, educators can enhance their professional skills and broaden their knowledge regarding quality education.
Review the information so that you can become familiar with the resources available to you at the Lawton P.D.C., and understand the procedures you will need to follow to access these resources. As always, we welcome your suggestions and your participation in our professional development programs.
The mission of the Oklahoma Professional Development Centers is to promote excellence in education and the continual upgrading of professional competencies of Oklahoma educators. The centers provide the opportunity for all state educators to have access to information and resources in proven instructional and administrative practices which promote quality instruction and overall school improvement.
