Description
How do we encourage AP teachers to differentiate instruction for diverse learners? How do we support growth in teachers already considered to be successful educators? Research indicates that PD efforts are most effective when teachers have voice and choice in what and how they learn. This session describes a teacher-centered PD system combining professional learning communities, lesson study, and micro-teaching that encourages teachers to become the creators and leaders of their own professional development and researchers of their own practice. While focused primarily on AP teachers, this approach can be effective with all teachers and all PD initiatives.
No items are available for this session.
