Some Guiding Principles We are working to Change Teacher Practice in order to Change Student Outcomes. Content for all sessions will be housed on one wikispace. Pre-work for participants is strongly encouraged. Common Themes throughout all sessions: Home Base, Standards 1- 6, Dufour questions, Universal Design for Learning, Guskey’s model of evaluating PD, online modules Objectives for each session are critical. Clearly defining what the participant will learn and experience is extremely important. Therefore, fine tuning the title of a session is an option, but sure leadership will have to approve any proposed adjustments.

Session Planning What is important for participants to know and be able to do? How will you engage them in the learning? What materials and resources will you need? What roles will your team members play?

Research statements for description? The purpose of effective professional development is to advance student learning through research-based, evidence-driven professional learning The Professional Development Capacity Building Team’s focus is on systemic approaches to dramatically increase the quality and outcomes of professional learning Sustained professional learning is essential for everyone who is employed to provide direct or indirect services to students that contribute to their learning Professional developers operate as a community of practice within the agency to continually deepen and expand their understanding of what is required to transfer professional learning into improved professional practice Research shows that for teachers and leaders to be highly effective and sustain practices, an environment of differentiated professional learning, risk taking, and collaborative relationships must be in place Focused on specific instructional and leadership approaches as a result of the needs assessment process
