Professional 

Development

Effective professional development should be understood as a job-embedded commitment that teachers make in order to further the purposes of the profession while addressing their own particular needs. It should follow the principles that guide the learning practices of experienced adults, in teaching communities that foster cooperation and shared expertise.

Cross-Curricular Instructional Videos:

What do you notice these teachers (all levels) do in the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of the class?  What do you wonder?  What can you infer about the instruction as a result of the opening and closing routines?  How can this help inform your instructional next steps?
