Personalizing Professional Development For Teachers, By Teachers
What do students need to be successful? Why not ask them directly? When we posed this question to our students at Bismarck Public Schools (BPS), here’s what some had to say to their teachers about what they need: “Give me more time to explore my interest.”“I like having a choice of what I get to do.” All the wishes they’ve expressed are pieces of a personalized learning environment. Yet what does personalized professional development (PD) look like? We invited a team of 35 teachers from seven schools to design summer workshops focused on innovating formative assessment practices. Involve Learners Early and Often Working collaboratively with teachers in planning and designing this PD workshop allowed us to leverage the collective wisdom of all our teachers.

The Best Resources For Helping Beginner ELLs Learn About Community, Signs & Transportation
As I shared two months ago (see Beginning A New “Best” Series Of Interest To ELL Teachers), I’m beginning to create an updated series of “Best” lists for Beginning English Language Learners.

From Pre-Fab to Personalized: How Districts Are Retooling Professional Development | EdSurge Guides
Every learner is different. Nowhere is this as true as it is for teachers. Every teacher comes to the classroom with a different background, different set of skills and differences in how they learn best. Add to this complexity, the fact that every teacher has a different set of students each year, all with their distinct needs. Teachers need individualized learning opportunities to an extreme degree. They know this. Time for change. By pulling data from across the district to better recommend courses and resources for PD;By offering teachers menus of choices for PD that is both in person and virtual; By shifting from a PD that only counts time, to one that counts proficiency. Over the past year, EdSurge has explored the work going on in districts, the tools they’re using and what it’s going to get personalized PD started. If you’re a teacher, we’d like to hear what tools you want in your toolbox. PD Management and Delivery Cycle: 25 Tools Recruit and Retain Recruit Manage Manage Evaluate Teach
