Owensboro, KY - Daviess County Public Schools launches a new model of district-wide professional learning. Better Together Day fosters collaboration, empowers staff, and enhances educational practices across the district. By empowering district employees to share their expertise by leading sessions and allowing educators to choose the sessions most relevant to their individual professional growth, DCPS unites instructional staff with a focus on learning together.
The inaugural Better Together professional learning day will take place on Monday, August 4th, at Daviess County High School. This new model shifts from traditional external speakers to an internal, peer-led approach, recognizing the wealth of knowledge and experience within the Daviess County Public Schools community.
"We are incredibly excited about our Better Together Day and the immense potential it holds for our staff and, by extension, our students," said Charles Broughton, DCPS Superintendent. "Our educators and support staff possess a remarkable depth of talent and innovative practices. Better Together Day creates a platform for them to share their successes, learn from one another, and collectively elevate our district's educational offerings. It truly embodies the spirit of our district motto of Together for Kids."
“Daviess County Public Schools is fortunate to have many teacher leaders that have stepped up to share their knowledge of student learning with their peers,” said Jana Beth Francis, DCPS assistant superintendent of teaching and learning. “Better Together Day exemplifies our commitment to learning. We want high quality learning for our educators and our students each day. It’s a great way to kick off the 2025 - 2026 school year!”
Daviess County Public Schools is confident that Better Together Day will become a cornerstone of its professional learning efforts, fostering a culture of shared learning and continuous improvement for the benefit of all students.
