2023 Workshop Talk | 32.18 | All Grade Levels, Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
In order to make a lasting impact on teachers’ thinking and classroom practice, teacher learning and training should be as engaging and as realistic as possible. This means moving teachers from being passive spectators to fully active participants. This workshop provides specific methods administrators and other faculty leaders can use to make professional development times more thoughtful, engaging, and realistic, leading to more lasting results in the classroom.
