      I like what this article is implementing. I learning seems to be much more affective with a hands on approach. Not only that but after trial and error the information will eventually stick. Teach teachers the way you would want your students to be taught!
  • when teachers are coached through the awkward phase of implementation, 95 percent can transfer the skill
  • teachers need to be working with the content they teach. Teachers don’t find professional development on generic topics useful

  • professional development that focuses on teachers analyzing the specific skill and concept they’ll teach in their discipline is not only well-received by teachers, but has also been shown to improve both teacher practice and student learning
  • In order to truly change practices, professional development should occur over time and preferably be ongoing. During the implementation stage, initial attempts to use a new teaching strategy are almost certain to be met with failure, and mastery comes only as a result of continuous practice despite awkward performance and frustration in the early stages.
  • Without support during this phase, it is highly unlikely that teachers will persevere with the newly learned strategy.
  • Case studies suggest that districts may be able to restructure spending for effective professional development without spending significantly more.

  • Resources for professional development come in many forms; Collaboration, Organizations, Publications, and Education.
  • I was quick to develop a network of other professionals that were also just starting out as a support team. I also developed a good relationship with a few other professionals who had been teaching for years. These professional relationships gave me a network of people to turn to for professional advice, input, and to bounce a few ideas off of. This is the most important place to go for professional development. It’s free and it’s the most helpful resource there is.

  • What are some of the key requirements for successfully integrating technology in your classroom? Not surprisingly, one requirement is adequate and effective professional development.
  • implement technology stress the need to work with teachers to weave technology-based activities into their existing curriculum in order to stretch—rather than add to—their instructional repertoires.
  • 1) teachers are at various levels in their knowledge and use of technology, 2) staff development for instructional technology needs to be based on what are currently construed as "best practices" for teachers' professional development, and 3) teachers' professional development in technology may well serve to further larger goals of school reform.

  • The author concludes that the human element in integrating technology is critical. Teachers and other staff members must be supported on an ongoing basis in order to sustain the process of technology integration in the classroom.

  • Nine studies show teachers that receive substantial professional development increase their students’ scores by 21 percentile points.
  • Great PD can often come with a great price tag to match. The cost of a conference can be hundreds of dollars, not to mention the travel costs. While some conferences will cover your meals, you still have to figure in the price of exploring, parking at the airport, and those exhibit hall deals you can’t pass up. If you get sticker shock, it’s time to think about ways to fund your adventures.
  • Education grants exist for nearly everything.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Search for your interests and there is a grant to match — guaranteed.
  • If the grant is for high school teachers, you will not get it teaching kindergarten. Don’t waste your time. Read the requirements and make sure your needs match.
  • Explicitly say that you need this grant and why.
  • If a grant says to write in 300 words, don’t use 302.
  • Watch your grammar. You are an educator and no one will fund an illiterate teacher.
  • Even if it isn’t asked for, find a chance to say that you are extending the learning to others. How can you share this information you learn with collegues? How can you take this opportunity and expand on it in your school?
  • Showing that by paying for you they are reaching many more is important.

  • Tips After the class ends, review your plan and how it worked in actuality. What will you do differently next time? Preview new material with the students and give them their study goals a week or two in advance. Be prepared to divert from the lesson plan. Plan how to guide the class's attention back to you when it wanders. Remember to match what you are teaching with your state or local school district standards. If lesson plans aren't your thing, consider the Dogme teaching method. It involves no textbooks and allows the students to take control.[1] Be clear that you will expect them to respond to questions in class by a certain date.

  • This lesson has a strong emphasis on analytic thinking and historical causation. Students engage with online maps, analyze census data from 1790, and read secondary sources (select either Map Tab or Documents Tab) to make evidence-based claims about why various states’ representatives held the positions they did on the Great Compromise and the Three Fifths Compromise. Students examine the impact of these two major political compromises on states’ political power, congressional representation, and representation of the enslaved population

    I like this site, I chose to share one of the lesson plans that it gives for a secondary History teacher to use with his/her students. You can search the topic you are going over in class and then find a lesson that goes along with it. This lesson meets the State Standards for World History at the secondary level and has a few good tips and planning strategies, as well as a rubric for this particular lesson. The students will be using the internet as a source to find the census from 1790, and locate maps from this era.
