Act 48+ Meeting

September 15, 2010

2010 – 2011 Act 48+ Committee• Beverly Arbore• Tommy Bedillion• Mark Bonus• Laurel Celani• Sheryl Fleck• Susan Flippin• Linda Fulton• Laura Jacob• Erica Kolat• Keith Kucherawy• Rita Ross• Heather Schmidt• Megan Van Fossan

Today will be a success if …

“Effective professional development enables educators to develop the knowledge and skills they need to address students’ learning challenges. To be effective, professional development requires thoughtful planning followed by careful implementation with feedback to ensure it responds to educators’ learning needs. Educators who participate in professional development then must put their new knowledge and skills to work. Professional development is not effective unless it causes teachers to improve their instruction or causes administrators to become better school leaders.”

Hayes Mizell, Why Professional Development Matters

High Impact Professional Development

• A focus on student learning– Link between student gains and specific teaching

strategies• Rigorous measurement of adult decisions

– Balance between student learning and adult practices• A focus on people and practices, not programs

– Implementation, not program (What Works)

– Doug Reeves, Transforming Professional Development into Student Results

“It is practices and people, not programs, that make the

difference in student achievement.”

Law of Initiative Fatigue

• Number of Initiatives increases• Time, resources, and energy stay same• Each new initiative receives fewer minutes,

dollars, and ounces of emotional energy
