Engaging Teachers with a Streamlined Version of Understanding by Design

I am haunted by more failure than success because of failing to adjust my professional development design to match current personal and system realities. But these failures have created opportunities as well. Here's how. Excitement filled the roo...

Preston Webster replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

Laurie, You are at the heart of what motivates adults to learn. Excellent. Most of my failure had to do with my inability to connect meaning, purpose, and passion to learning that helped teachers improve teaching (this means doing something diffe...

Laurie Bartels replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

Hi Preston, I think that PD – and this refers to all types of PD, not just PD related to technology – should encourage and support learning: • within one's area of expertise • within one's area of passion • that complement's one's area of experti...

Curt Lieneck replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

Thanks, Liz. We just haven't had much luck with getting teachers to give up those blocks, at least not on a consistent enough basis to make any real progress. I hope you see some real success in making this paradigm shift.

Liz Davis replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

Curt Lieneck replied to Susan Carter Morgan's discussion 'Twittering?'

I used it pretty actively for about two years and ultimately found it more annoying than useful. Keeping a decent signal to noise ratio took too much care and time. I'm glad others find it wonderful, but it didn't really work for me.

Curt Lieneck replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'

Where is the teacher's time coming from to engage in these more personalized approaches to PD? We would gladly do more of this sort of thing with teachers, but even those motivated to do so have a lot of trouble making time for them.
