- 16. Research shows that professional development is most effective and can impact student classroom achievement when it is long-term, collaborative, school-based, focused on the learning of all students, and linked to the curricula that teachers have to teach (Cohen & Hill, 2001; Garet, Porter, Desimone, Birman, & Yoon, 2001; Hiebert, Gallimore, & Stigler, 2002; Wenglinsky, 2000).

- 17. “Blended learning lends itself well to incorporating these design principles. For example, blended learning programs can be designed to extend to a full school year or even longer because teachers do not need to be removed from classrooms for extended periods in order to participate. Face-to-face sessions can coincide with district professional development days or teachers can be replaced with substitutes for several days throughout the school year to attend face-to-face sessions.” Blended teacher professional development: A synthesis of three program evaluations Ron Owston , Herb Wideman, Janet Murphy, Denys Lupshenyuk⁎

Notes de l'éditeur
- Sometimes in this workshop, when it’s your turn to do an activity or discuss something, you’ll see a slide like this. We’ll be using the “Think-Pair-Share” format, which means: think to yourself for a moment, then talk with a partner, then share out to the whole group. Sometimes you’ll see two pears… (NEXT SLIDE)
- Join or Develop
- Replace with “Stay in Touch” slide
