Professional Development Recommended Resources

21st Century Learning Skills

The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century.

Bloom's Taxonomy

The graphic at this site is a representation of the NEW verbage associated with the long familiar Bloom's Taxonomy. Note the change from Nouns to Verbs to describe the different levels of the taxonomy.  Planning lessons with the higher level thinking skills guides our students toward engagement in the learning process, independence in owning their learning and understanding of being prepared to thrive in today's global economy.

Background Information
From the HASD Action Planning Session 2008
To the  Initial Goals of The Committee
 
Specific Strategy/Tactic: Professional Development
Co- Facilitators:    Wendy Neyhard, Sally Radke
Committee Members: Mary Claypool, Paula Cole, Gen Eirich, Rachel Galloway, Claire Habeck, Ann Sullivan, Kris Zullner

“We will enhance the culture of learning by providing ALL staff with the tools to continue timely, professional development around data and student needs.”

The Action Planning Team was assigned the task of developing a plan which would align with the stated district goal.   The team’s approach began with a general discussion of current staff development initiatives occurring within the district. Included in the discussion was an examination of current budgetary information. Throughout the discussion, each team member contributed valuable input as to what professional development initiatives are perceived as working well, and areas suggesting potential for improved professional development implementation. All this healthy conversation led to the team’s first two Measurable Objectives:
#1) “The district will provide consistent and continuous staff development time, monthly or weekly, within the existing school day for all staff,” (TIME)
#2) “The individual staff development goals for ALL staff members will be collaboratively developed between the individual staff member and administration. The individual’s goal will be linked to district, building, team/department, and personal goals.” (FOCUS)
In conjunction with the discussion about having time to collaborate and having a focus on common goals at the district, building, team, and individual levels, the issue of accountability emerged. This led to a third Measurable Objective:
#3)   “There will be accountability and measure of progress and success that is connected to theSupervision/Evaluation Plan for ALL staff.” (ACCOUNTABILITY)
This team is very interested in building learning communities. The team strongly believes that, in order to be more effective educators and professionals, there needs to be allocated time to collaborate with one another. Therefore, it is imperative that the suggested plan begin to evolve in an efficacious and timely fashion. The team recommends that, as changes occur over the next two years, they reflect a commitment to this belief.
 

 In order to positively affect educational opportunities for our HASD students, adult learning must be ongoing, collaborative and consistent in nature.
