professional development should be built
upon what is already being done well in the classroom.
|
|
there are no quick-fix, one-easy-answer,
fad solutions to today's educational problems.
|
|
today's educational problems are
tomorrow's opportunities to help students.
|
|
the best training is not a one-hour,
one-shot deal, but intensive, well-designed training.
|
|
it is important that administrators
attend professional development activities and
participate in the training with their teachers to gain
first-hand experience for what is being advocated. The
result is dynamic, well-informed leadership necessary
for positive changes to be implemented.
|
|
it is essential that teachers
participate in activities where presenters model
what is being advocated in the training.
|
|
|
teachers need to experience training as
students without the pre-occupation of becoming staff
developers when they return to school. On-site training
provides first-hand knowledge for all staff from a
professional who has actual classroom experience
incorporating the new idea.

a good looking brochure is an indication
of the care and quality put into the overall program.
