Although American teachers spend more working hours in classrooms than do instructors in some of the top-performing European and Asian countries, U.S. students have scored in the middle of the pack on a number of prominent international exams in recent years.

That paradox appears to stem at least in part from a failing of the United States’ systems for supporting professional learning, concludes a new report Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader released here Feb. 4.

I am a grade 6 and 7 teacher in Calgary, Alberta and am the program coordinator of my school's 1:1 laptop program, planning and implementing PD for the staff. A presenter at numerous conferences, both local and national, in 2006 I was selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator. As well, I have recently contributed to a publication on technology for the Critical Thinking Consortium and am working on my Masters degree at the University of Calgary.

I’ve done a couple of posts lately about teacher professional development (What’s Professional Development) and how most teacher’s PD “diet” is pretty unbalanced (6 Degrees of Professional Development). I whipped up a quick Google Form to collect some data.

Take the “What’s Your PD Blend?” survey here

Everyone knows that “professional development for educators is important.” It’s one of those phrases you hear all the time without really thinking about it. I did a session at last year’s K12 Online conference called “Challenging Assumptions About Professional Development” that talked about some of the myths we believe about professional development, especially regarding technology. But even then, I didn’t think much about the question, “what is professional development?”

I’ve done some web research, and found lots of terrific resources about things like the essential elements of professional development, methodologies, how to do it, and much more. But what I didn’t find is a simple breakdown of the kinds of professional development that teachers can participate in. Because in my mind, breaking down the kinds of professional development into simple groups gives us a “map” of the possibilities. Sort of like food groups - it can help create a balanced diet.

This manual was written during the summer of 1995. The primary author, Julie Reed, was interning at the Georgetown University Volunteer and Public Service Center at the time. I had asked her to pull together a compendium of reflection activities that would be useful for educators and leaders of service groups. None of the ideas represented in this manual are original. We borrowed examples from a variety of sources, which you will find in the "Acknowledgements" section at the end of the manual.
