Professional Development & Teacher Certification
2. Professional development is a big part of teaching, and
keeping certifications current. Professional development, can be
completed through online classes, webinars, or other computer
related sources. After implementing these e-learning styles of
teaching, teachers will be able to complete their continuing
education units, and fulfill NAEYC professional development
criteria. All staff that work directly with students will be a part
of this analysis. This includes principals, teachers, assistant
teachers, instructional aids, paraprofessionals, and counselors.
Professional Development Overview
3. Benefits of Professional Development Promoting the
Development of Self-Regulation in Young Children Facilitating
Language Development in Young Children Measuring Classroom Quality
Crossing Boundaries and Building Bridges: Leadership Lessons for
All of Us Forty three point eight percent of teachers reported that
they had participated in professional development activities
focusing on the use of computers for instruction in the past 12
months.
4. Learning and Teaching Getting Started The first step is to
determine what you want your audience to learn, and be able to do
at the end of class. To help you specify your objectives for
teacher learning, answer the following questions: What is the topic
of the lesson? What do I want teachers to learn? What do I want
them to understand and be able to do at the end of this tutorial?
What do I want them to take away from this particular lesson?
5. Free Writing/Minute Paper/Question of the Day Exercise These
are activities that prompt students to write a response to an open
question and can be done at any time during a class. Writing
activities are usually 1-2 minutes, and can focus on key questions
and ideas or ask students to make predictions. Ice Breakers Ice
Breakers are low-stakes activities that get students to interact
and talk to each other, and encourage subsequent classroom
interactions. ThinkPairShare This type of activity first asks
students to consider a question on their own, and then provides an
opportunity for students to discuss it in pairs, and finally
together with the whole group. Jigsaw A Jigsaw is a cooperative
active learning exercise where students are grouped into teams to
solve a problem or analyze a reading. These can be done in one of
two ways either each team works on completing a different portion
of the assignment and then contributes their knowledge to the class
as a whole, or within each group, one student is assigned to a
portion of the assignment (the jigsaw comes from the bringing
together the various ideas at the end of the activity to produce a
solution to the problem). Interactive Activities

8. Why Is Teacher Development Important? Ongoing Professional
Development It is critical for veteran teachers to have ongoing and
regular opportunities to learn from each other. Ongoing
professional development keeps teachers up- to-date on new research
on how children learn, emerging technology tools for the classroom,
new curriculum resources, and more. The best professional
development is ongoing, experiential, collaborative, and connected
to and derived from working with students and understanding their
culture.
9. New Media While almost all schools offer professional
development in traditional, face-to-face settings, the use of
electronic media to deliver training rose dramatically from 2013 to
2015. Many teachers also reported acquiring professional
development through collaborative and reflective activities outside
traditional training settings.
10. 1.Reach a very targeted audience either live or on demand
quickly and efficiently 2.Engage participants through the use of
video, audio, slides and interactive options 3.Achieve greater
reach at a generally lower cost than face-to-face meetings 4.Live
webinars can be re-broadcast as on- demand versions, thus enabling
knowledge-sharing and optimum utilization of interesting content
5.User-friendly for participants: no travel or accommodation costs
involved, and webinars can be searched and referred to for specific
content afterwards 6.A webinar can be viewed on a PC, Mac, tablet
or smartphone 7.Green communications tool: by reducing travel for
both presenters and participants, webinars are an environmentally
friendly option Why Webinars? Educational research: webinars lead
to a higher study success rate and greater satisfaction among
students.
