Ed Surge – Evan Beachy
“Chances are, we’ve all sat through professional development exercises and wondered where the relevance for our own practice was. Sit-and-get PD rarely engages our interests and, at best, only temporarily sparks inspiration. Considering neuroscience now suggests that the education system we grew up with has severe limitations, perhaps it’s time we reexamine how we approach teaching and learning, not just for students but for our educators as well. Teachers need professional development conducted with the same progressive techniques we hope to instill in students. This means more relevant topics targeted to teacher interests and needs, rather than fewer, spread out PD days in a one size fits all model.”(more)
