Literature Review on Successful Professional Development
NCEO sought to make sure our online training was developed with careful consideration for what the literature says about effective teacher professional development.
Literature Review on Successful Professional Development
Findings included:
1. Effective teacher Professional Development must be connected to teacher’s context and practice.
Case Based Instruction in the form of case studies that are written as rich narratives of real-life teacher practice, are sometimes more appealing to teachers than only content instruction.
Literature Review on Successful Professional Development
2. Effective teacher Professional Development should provide teachers an opportunity to APPLY what they have learned.
