More About This Textbook

Overview

Teacher-Centered Professional Development is a thorough, hands-on guide to collaborative skill building for educators. The book is centered on the author’s Teacher’s Choice Framework: a model that empowers teachers by helping them choose and initiate professional growth activities according to their schedules, strengths, and needs.

Most of the chapters in the book are devoted to different professional development strategies, including mentoring, action research, and journal writing. For each strategy, the author includes:

* A brief history of the research base
* A step-by-step guide to implementing the strategy
* Sample handouts and assessment forms
* Examples from the field of the strategy in practice

With this book, teachers at all levels can quickly learn how to set up development teams, conduct action research, and engage in other activities to further their skills. In addition, the Teacher’s Choice Framework helps educators prioritize their needs and choose the strategies that best suit their individual criteria. Clearly written and practically organized, this book offers both a perfect introduction to staff development options and a commonsense method for choosing among them.
