You reviewed the 2 vignettes on pp. 216-218
What are 3-5 advantages in place in the 2nd vignette that support a successful exchange?
Supports & Needs relevant to successful professional development
• Needs assessment with teachers’ input • Allow teachers to contribute to collaborative goals for the PD • Differentiate the PD to allow for a range of teachers’
knowledge • Structure PD to allow for teachers’ talk, collaboration, follow-
up • Arrange for professional developer to observe in the school &
teachers’ classrooms BEFORE the PD is planned & delivered • Food and a variety of resources (not just one article) • BUDGET: Did you know some university faculty offer 1 session
PD “pro bono” ? Or can integrate PD into “seed grants” (small funding)?
