How to make a GREAT teacher PD!
If you want your teachers to do better, then you must provide better Professional Development!
There was so much to say about Teacher PD’s that I am attaching a video to my PowerPoint presentation to fill in the gaps. It is about 13 minutes long and I hope you enjoy it!
The video covers:
Why do we have teacher PD’s?
What are some GREAT PD topics you have never seen!
Why are PD’s not delivering what they should?
“Intradepartmental” vs. “Interdepartmental” PD’s - Which is best?
Taking into account seniority when developing PD’s
Have you ever asked teachers what they want to see in a PD?
Have you ever had a Motivational Speaker come to your school? (There are hundreds of affordable speakers out there who be a perfect fit for your school. And nobody needs motivation more than our teachers!)
Stop making PD’s that instruct your teachers how to “teach” better!
Administrators, remember that you have a “captive audience” in your teachers, so please use that time wisely to provide true “professional development” as is seen in all other professions in the private sector!
After watching, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about scheduling your next PD!
