What can they do to change the Death By Professional Development paradigm among teachers? Why are they still a necessary part of a balanced professional learning \"diet?\" What if we change the narrative around outside expertise in professional learning?","Description":"There's a lot of bad professional development out there- and some not awesome professional development consultants. Between sit-and-get lectures and \"do as I say, not as I do\" workshops, is it any wonder that teachers dread PD days? So how can those of us who have committed our energy, time, and expertise to supporting teachers via quality professional learning break the mold and change the narrative?","Link":["http:\/\/antiochne.edu\/acsr","https:\/\/antiochcriticalskills.wordpress.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"A series of discussion prompts building from texts and videos, with small group conversation feeding into a Google Doc in order to capture the key ideas.","Presenter":["Laura Thomas"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Antioch University New England","Edutopia"],"PresenterEmail":["lthomas@antioch.edu"],"ScheduleSlotID":86,"ScheduleLocationID":8,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":6}}
