 | Professional Growth & Development at King At King we strongly believe that a top quality Professional Growth & Development (PG&D) program is the cornerstone of our success.
Faculty members at King are talented, committed, knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about their work. They understand that in order to be the very best, they must be lifelong learners as well as professional educators, and they know that the two are intimately linked.
It is in this spirit that King has developed a comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and systematic approach to Professional Growth & Development.
