The Charter SELPA provides a comprehensive system of development for Charter LEA personnel and parents. Opportunities for professional development include: workshops, intensive subject specific training, participation on workgroups, job specific councils, coaching, follow-up support, demonstrations, and one-to-one support. Parent support occurs through parent training services, parent meetings and councils, school site presentations, and individual meetings. Services are delivered at the local schools, regionally, and through state-sponsored activities. To provide a complete array of appropriate and current topics, the Charter SELPA participates on the Region 10 Coordinating Council. Through membership and participation, Charter SELPA services are able to reflect the areas of focus from the large region of San Bernardino, Riverside, Inyo, and Mono counties. Additionally, the Regional Coordinating Council follows a specific plan that reflects the California State Improvement Plan. The Charter SELPA personnel development plan covers a continuum of supports, reflects the needs of the local schools, responds to regional topics of importance, and provides training in areas identified by the CDE, Special Education Division.

These standards were revised in 2001, and that revision incorporated what educators have learned about staff development that improves the learning of all students. These standards focus on staff development that is standards-based, results-driven, and job-embedded. The NSDC Standards for Staff Development are divided into context, process, and content standards, and focuses on improvement in learning for all students. The revised NSDC Standards for Staff Development are: Context Standards Staff development that improves the learning of all students: • Organizes adults into learning communities whose goals are aligned with those of the school and LEA (Learning Communities). • Requires skillful school and Charter LEA leaders who guide continuous instructional improvement (Leadership). • Requires resources to support adult learning and collaboration (Resources).
