Dropping Truths & Busting Myths on Teacher PD
Description:
You’ve heard it all: professional development is a waste of time and money. It doesn’t work for veteran teachers. It’s most effective when it focuses only on content knowledge. Why is professional development yet another issue in education instead of a solution to our problems? What actually works in professional development, and why don’t we do it? This panel will bust some myths and drop some truths about teacher PD.
