Standards for Online Professional Development

The Standards for Staff Development document by the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) provides widely accepted and highly regarded standards for professional development. While these standards were developed with face-to-face professional development in mind, they also reflect important aspects of quality professional development, regardless of how it is provided. This document expands NSDC standards to include important issues and topics unique to online learning.

- It may be particularly attractive to newer teachers, who are often in search of
  mentoring and coaching and are likely more comfortable being part of online
  communities.
- "Blogging didn't really become that widespread among teachers," says O'Neal,
  "because, as anyone who has blogged will tell you -- it takes a lot of time and
  effort, no matter how long you've been doing it. Twitter can provide many of the
  same benefits as other social media but much, much faster."

- Emotional and social factors and past experiences also enter into play in terms of the brain's efficiency and an individual learner's motivation. Because these factors are more developed in adults than in children, they have greater influence over adults than they have over children.
- This inherent desire to learn to do something simply for the satisfaction of doing the job well is an intrinsic motivation. Four key factors affect the intensity of a learner's intrinsic motivation in any given situation: emotions, feedback, past experiences, and meaning. These factors are all connected and influence one another to some degree.

- - When people feel positive about a learning situation, chemicals called endorphins and dopamine become active. Endorphins provide a feeling of euphoria. Dopamine stimulates the prefrontal cortex, keeping the individual attentive, interactive, and likely to remember what he or she experiences. Negative feelings, on the other hand, cause the hormone cortisol to enter the bloodstream. Cortisol puts the brain into survival mode; this shifts the brain's attention away from learning so it can deal with the source of stress. Instead of learning, the brain remembers the pressure and registers these kinds of situations as unpleasant.
  - Does the program offer learning experiences associated with moderate challenge, excitement, creativity, and joy so teachers will be more likely to remember what they learn and implement it in the classroom?
    Does the program speak to a problem that teachers identified rather than some outside entity? If not, can we connect this content to teachers' concerns?
    Are teachers excited about this initiative?
    Have we included opportunities for hands-on participation and activities that address a variety of learning styles?
    Will participants give leaders feedback on the program—and receive regular feedback?
