Supporting Educators Since 1995
The Office of Professional Learning (OPL), in the Dillon Admin Center, is the new name for the PDC (Professional Development Center). Since we are no longer in our own separate center, we made the name change to better describe our department and make a better fit for ourselves in the new Dillon Admin Center.
Making an Impact Across the District
With hundreds of total hours of teacher and staff training, several popular professional learning events, and on-demand instructional resource support provided to all administrators, teachers, and educational support, the OPL serves as a major positive force for learning in the Santa Rosa County School District.
