A major
aspect of the ICP mission is to support ICP teachers in providing
in-service workshops to ESL and content area colleagues. After
successfully completing the intensive nine-month professional
development program, ICP teachers are encouraged to share
their knowledge and expertise with faculty, staff and parents
in their schools.
ICP teachers
are integral/vital contributors in their buildings and community,
and they know the needs of their teaching environment better
than outside consultants. Additionally, they are more accessible
and can provide continuous support throughout the school year
as needed. ICP teachers are in the most appropriate position
to conduct in-services and follow-ups; essentially, they are
the experts.
