Comprehensive Professional Development Projects


The Diagnostic Center provides curriculum leadership to LEAs and SELPAs. Comprehensive Professional Development Projects are individually designed to meet specific LEA or SELPA needs. Projects are typically multiple service days interspersed over a period of time. Projects are designed to provide services in various formats:

  • In-depth content training followed by multiple levels of consultation.

  • On-site consultation that includes demonstrations teaching, observation, recommendations and problem solving/coaching

  • Consultation and technical assistance sessions with teachers and administrative support teams.

These projects are available on a limited basis and require:

  • Evidence of administrative support

  • Participants must commit to fully participate and agree to "homework"; attempting recommendations/strategies between sessions.

Request for Comprehensive Professional Development Project should be made to the Diagnostic Center Director, Mary Anne Nielsen at (510) 794-2500.
