Coaching and PD
Most of the best school systems focus on PD
School systems must change what happens in theclassroom with individual teachers Awareness of specific weaknesses Understanding of specific best practices demonstration
of best practices in an authentic setting Teachers need to be motivated to make the necessary
improvements and to make a difference

Coaching and PD
All three must happen and must be based in theclassroom realities of teachers.
External ideas rarely result in classroom change.
Most other professions do most of their trainingdirectly in the work setting very little teachertraining generally takes place in teachers ownclassrooms where is the place for it to be the mostrelevant and the most effective.

Research on PD
Teachers are positive about allopportunities to learn.
Evidence strong suggests that teacherswant PD.
PD should enable teachers to share andlearn from each other.
8/2/2019 What Do Teachers Need to Achieve the Standards
24/34
Research on PD
PD should be directly focused on thecurriculum and programs teachers areteaching.
PD must be focused on what teachersare doing every day, the specificmaterials and programs they are using.
General training is much less effectivethan specific training.
