21st Century Learning: The Effects of Budget Tightening on PD

WHAT WOULD I DO?
If I was in the position many educational leaders find themselves today- I would invest in PD that helped my faculty understand how to build sustainable situated communities of practice where teachers learn from each other. I would make sure my teachers knew how to use the emerging technologies to share, connect and collaborate. I would target my professional dollars on experts who knew how to deliver best practice professional development online and understood the value of job embedded PD over time through virtual community spaces. I would invest in training that helped my teachers understand the new networking literacies.

Why?

1. PD needs are met for less money
2. Teachers are gaining valuable 21st Century teaching and learning skills through immersion in the the environments their kids use to learn outside of school.
3. Teachers make connections that accelerate their growth as networked learners.
4. To save on travel, lodging, and food cost associated with sending teachers off or bring multiple experts in physically.

Tough stuff here. While it's nice to list "those to follow", in creating a list you're automatically creating a tier - possibly telling those not on the list that they haven't quite made the cut?
