The Sumter School District Career Specialists last week participated in their Back-to-School Professional Development to prepare for another successful year of supporting students on their path to college and career readiness.

During the training, Career Specialists reviewed district and school-level Work-Based Learning (WBL) data, analyzed Career Readiness performance indicators, and received updates on key initiatives for the 2026–2027 school year. Sessions also focused on tracking student progress through Education Analytics, Palmetto Pathways, and PowerSchool, ensuring accurate data collection and monitoring of College and Career Ready (CCR) outcomes.

The day provided valuable opportunities for collaboration, sharing best practices, and developing strategies to expand meaningful work-based learning experiences and increase student success across the district.

One Standard. Excellence.

PD Palooza,"Passport to Collaboration" brought together our incredible international teachers for an afternoon full of connection, learning, and shared experiences. The room was filled with meaningful conversations, laughter, and a genuine spirit of collaboration as educators from different backgrounds came together with a common purpose, supporting students and growing together.

There is something really special about the perspectives our international teachers bring to our district. Yesterday was a beautiful reminder that when we create space to learn from one another, we all become better.

A special thank you to Mrs. Roberson (Hillcrest Middle School), Ms. Grant (Bates Middles School), Mrs. Cheek (Ebenzer Middle School) and Dr. Silva (Crestwood High School) for Facilitating this workshop.

Our educators, and ultimately our students cannot excel without meaningful collaboration. Today, we concluded what may be our final collaboration day for this school year, but certainly not the end of this powerful partnership between the instructional coaches, reading coaches, and 4th and 5th grade teachers of Lemira Elementary and Rafting Creek Elementary. We are incredibly proud of the commitment, shared expertise, and collective focus on student achievement demonstrated by both teams.
