What Happens After the Pd Workshop?: Research-Based Approaches to Professional Development Implementation, (Paperback)

<p><b>While billions of dollars are invested annually in professional development, research shows that only a small fraction of what educators learn in workshops is implemented in the classroom. </b></p><p>This important book shows how to move beyond surface-level PD delivery and instead create the conditions for deeper learning transfer into practice.</p><p>You'll discover how to bring about sustained change by shifting focus from event planning to implementation systems, from content delivery to sustained support, and from hoping for change to systematically creating the conditions that make change inevitable. The book covers topics such as administrative support, adequate knowledge, necessary materials, support staff collaboration, caregiver involvement, and class size considerations. Throughout, there are case studies to help you apply the ideas to your own K-12 setting. A robust appendix offers tools such as diagnostic assessments, planning tools, support staff and caregiver tools, and much more.</p><p>Rather than offering another professional development program, this book shows you how to make any professional development program successful, so you can turn your school's professional learning into lasting growth.</p>
