I had a very interesting conversation with a colleague the other day. She is a teacher in adult education with upwards of 35 years in the classroom and she said to me that the model we recently used in her class and others, with me going directly into the classroom and working with students, makes sense to her. http://leadingfromtheheart.org/2012/05/07/interesting-conversation-about-teaching-and-technology/

Designing Teacher-Centered Professional Development

Ask most history teachers about how effective their professional development is and you will usually receive a negative answer. This unenthusiastic response is engendered by the deficit approach that traditional professional development often takes. A subject supervisor looks at end-of-course state assessments and assumes something is wrong with the way history teachers are teaching.
