A challenge currently is enrollment and competing with finances to complete professional development as our funding is extremely limited.

Challenges- budget, people not wanting to be out of the building, sometimes not having the knowledge of what will be "worth it" or the reputation behind the PD and those presenting, people may not see why PD outside of their "area" is important to them.

My takeaway is the way you leverage your in-house talent to support and promote growth for your staff. Also, the format of your SCD days and the offerings you have in each building throughout the year. Thank you for sharing.
