Professional Development

I found the discussion regarding professional development very helpful. There are so many aspects to consider when you are the person establishing the professional development opportunities for teachers and staff. By using a model that incorporates the research-based practices of shorter durations (3 hours) over an extended length of time, I think that the administrator would see a definite change in the actual implementation of strategies shared during the professional development sessions. This is a program model that I am currently working to implement on a more consistent basis with my current position as I offer professional development for teachers.
