Dear Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents, Directors/Supervisors of Curriculum, Principals, and
Directors of Special Education/CST:
The Burlington County Professional Development Institute (BCPDI) has enjoyed a successful inaugural year with over
420 staff from 36 school districts participating in 14 workshops. Workshop topics addressed key issues such as
Classroom Management, Next Generation Science Standards, Google EDU, Inclusive Schools, Collaborative Decision
Making, Differentiating Instruction, Effective Teaching Strategies in Mathematics, Dyslexia, Student Motivation and
Engagement, Autism, and Special Education Law.
The BCPDI Advisory Committee, comprised of representatives from participating districts, met throughout the 20152016 school year to share ideas, analyze participant feedback and identify topics for future workshops. Their input was
invaluable and the committee will continue to ensure that the needs of participating districts are reflected in our
workshop offerings.
In 2016-2017, the BCPDI is excited to offer your district the opportunity to participate in timely and transferable
professional development workshops for your staff and administrators. In addition, a New Teacher Institute designed to
offer workshops that support and guide new and non-tenured teachers will be offered. Listed below are some of the
workshop topics being offered for 2016-2017.
The participation fee for 2016-2017 will remain the same as this year ($1.35 per student based on a district’s October
2015 ASSA resident student count). As a participating district, your staff and administrators will be entitled to all
workshops offered by the BCPDI for the 2016-2017 school year at no additional cost. In addition, you will receive
minutes from each Advisory Committee meeting and have a voice in the selection of topics for future workshops.
If you would like to participate in the BCPDI for the 2016-2017 school year, please click here
to complete the online registration form by July 1, 2016. You will receive an invoice on or before September 30,
2016. Advisory Committee meetings and professional development workshops will be held at the BCSSSD Media Center,
20 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton, NJ 08060 unless otherwise noted.
Please feel free to contact Ms. Marie Phillips, Administrator of the BCPDI, by email ([email protected]) or
phone at 609-234-4879 if you have any questions. We look forward to collaborating with you in the continuation of our
county’s strong professional development tradition.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher Manno
Superintendent of Schools
