Professional Development Resources:

The Reaching Higher for Student Success initiative is driven by the results of research conducted in Delaware with educators, students, parents, business leaders and college professors. Additional research from national studies make it clear that we need to do more to prepare students to graduate, and to succeed in college and careers. The new Student Success Plans are an important component of Reaching Higher for Student Success, the Delaware Department of Education's ongoing initiative to revitalize Delaware's public middle and high schools.
