Appended are the following: professional development plan forms; professional development plan workshops; funding for professional development activities; short history of inquiry-based staff development in Virginia; annotated bibliography of 56 staff development resources available from the Virginia Adult Education and Literacy Resource Center; planning calendar; and roles and responsibilities of persons working with learning plans.
