Staff Development

Educational Technology has always been a mixed bag. From old equipment, to lack of training, to lack of time to implement change, public schools have always had it tough. Recently on techlearning.com, a great article was posted which clearly discusses how to perform Staff Development the smart way. A great read which hits all of the important points. Thanks to Nori Murphy for pointing out this article. It can be found HERE.

A great summary from the article:

Technology-based professional development activities should be anchored with the following fundamental principles:

  • Participants learn by doing.
  • Activities are relevant to the participants’ educational roles.
  • Leaders model appropriate instructional strategies.
  • Schedules include time for reflection and collaboration.
  • Leaders and other participants provide ongoing support.
