Abstract | When students already are achieving at high levels, it can be easy for teachers to become complacent. However, Mountain Brook Schools in suburban Birmingham, Alabama, has developed a culture committed to continuous improvement that has resulted in an excellent system becoming outstanding. The key is professional development. Professional learning has become such a part of the system's culture that it is now integral to each of 14 goals in the district's strategic plan and is explicit in two goals: (1) To design and implement an effective, challenging, and engaging curriculum that promotes the highest level of academic excellence and personal growth for each student; and (2) To design, implement, and support an exemplary professional development program. This article describes how the six schools of the district of Alabama set goals and use data from standardized test results and comprehensive surveys for continuously improving academic achievement.
