@MaryAnnReilly If done outside of contract or release time. Yes. Instead of merit-pay I'd prefer service-pay. Comptve committees. #edchat

We also need new ways to evaluate PD besides likert scale exit surveys. No connection to looking at long term reform #edchat

I think a major change needed to PD is greater connections to #highered. can't just train tchrs & drop them off at the steps of schl #edchat

@kassiaowedekind I agree. Often the coaching role ill-defined will little support. Needs to be connected to long term PD initiatives #edchat

As for changes to PD model I think we must include blended lrng models and start a repository of best practices and reflections #edchat

@kassiaowedekind think sometime just having an outside voice can add a sense of credibility (even if its undeservered as in my case) #edchat

@kassiaowedekind They felt peer coaching had no oversight, wanted a boss, and quality of literacy coach varied by building. #edchat

think schools could get more bang for their buck sending in small group to national conferences rather than bring in national spkr #edchat

The one problem with self-directed PD is no common vision. Often schls /districts have particular needs. Such as academic vocab etc #edchat

As part of stdy we tested: literacy coaches, peer coaches, and online coaches. Tchrs preffered the online coaching model the best. #edchat

fav model is 2 work w/ corps of tchrs in a bldg on an initiative and then they go out to rest of staff. PD should b capacity bldng #edchat

Notes
The type of PD required must be flexible. Different goals require different formats. #edchat
