Professional development - teachers and administrators have access to professional learning opportunities that incorporate evidence-based elements:
- Active learning - participants must be engaged in interactive learning, not just listening to a lecture or presentation.
- Coherence - participants must see an explicit connection between the professional development and their classroom practice or leadership.
- Duration and intensity - if professional development contact time is less than 49 hours, it will produce little effect on student achievement.
- Personalization - professional development must take into account the varied learning styles and preferences of educators.
- Coaching - in-classroom or on-site coaching and mentoring is required to help educators "translate" what they learn in professional development sessions to their own classrooms or schools.
This is what good integration and support will look like in daily training.
