Faculty Professional Development

FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2020–2021

At Village we strive to cultivate a love of learning that lasts a lifetime, and this expectation extends not only to our students but also to adults. Each year, our administration, faculty, and staff attend several conferences, workshops, presentations, and seminars to extend and deepen our impact as educators.
