A New Model for Teacher Professional Development 

A New Model for Teacher Professional Development  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
When a new push to reframe educator professional development occurs, teachers often ask:

How does the PD help with specific curriculum requirements and standards?
How does it trigger additional professional learning opportunities?
How does it help the students in our classrooms and community?
How does it contribute to connections with other educators?
A collaborative platform that facilitates resource discovery and best practices gives teachers ownership of their own professional development. As personal learning networks expand, teachers achieve more recognition in their school communities and beyond.

Teachers organically organize collaborative environments, often finding one another through one or a number of the hundreds of Twitter chats that occur in any given week, or in locally organized EdCamps that are taking place throughout the globe. Blogs, webinars and conferences are also fruitful environments where educators can share ideas with one another.

Educators are also already taking advantage of the flexibility of online and interactive professional development to interact with peers and design programs based on their own interests. So why not build upon inquiry already taking place through blogs, Twitter chats, digital badges, Slack channels and interactive platforms?

Ultimately, it’s about empowerment and self-discovery through the expansion of personal learning networks, and the ability to blend in voices, concepts and tools from all over the world.

Integrating Technology Instructional Coaching
Hampton High School has integrated technology across its entire program with a full-time instructional coach who supports the teachers in this work.


The presence of a coach sharpens the school's focus on how technology can best make the learning more engaging and relevant for students, and gives teachers support in navigating the vast field of technology applications and devices. Many teachers either do not have the time or might even be resistant to bringing technology into their classroom; others may think it's just about doing the same thing with new tools.


A good instructional coach not only provides teachers with the resources, support, and know-how on working with technology, but also ensures the smart use of technology to deepen the teaching and learning for all involved.

Meta-Collaboration: Thinking With Another | Collaboration | Global Collaboration | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What if we could dramatically improve our thought processes and learning strategies by tapping into the social genius of another? What if a classmate, colleague, or friend could help us recognize and claim our strengths, new habits of thought, and strategies from a perspective that we never imagined by ourselves?

.

As human beings, our survival depends on others. Our ability to cooperate and collaborate has trumped the stress response state of competition within our species and throughout evolution.

.

With a group affiliation to nurture these relationships, we can strengthen and reappraise our own thought processes.

One of the things that is deteriorating education is when teachers alieneit themselves from each other. It is completely wrong if the language teacher thinks that he/she cannot benefit from the science teacher. As an ESL teacher i found extremely helpful when i discussed and scooped ideas with other colleges from other department l

Good to read for thoughts about teaching students how to build a better global understanding.

Les ressources de l'article sont bien. Nous vivons dans un monde globalisé, mais les étudiants ne sont pas toujours intéressés. Que est-ce que cela peut bien changer mon monde ? Puis il faut des attentats pour les réveiller.

Professional Development: WHY EDUcators And TEACHers Can't Catch UP THAT Quickly AND How-To Change It

Professional Development: WHY EDUcators And TEACHers Can't Catch UP THAT Quickly AND How-To Change It | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

.WHERE To START AND WHAT Plan?


A very quick way of adapting for Professional Development is a daily base routine of Curation to grow YOUR “PKM” AND by using ===> Coaching and/or Mentoring <===. As well as Co-Teaching, TEAM-TEACHing, as one learns from each other.

.

TEACHers, EDUcators SHOULD get reduced in teaching classes for a certain time AND following Professional Development courses by experienced coaches during that time… These experienced coaches (from inside or outside the school) could get named “Key Instructors” or something else. Once THEY know it by PracTICE it’s THEIR role to give “Professional Development” courses to other teachers, educators. The curriculum as well SHOULDN’T be static, it MUST get updated as soon as there is something NEW to adapt to the situation.
