In a building-wide focus, every teacher works to improve in the area of the goal. For example, if the building-wide goal is improving reading, every teacher learns the same strategies during building-wide professional development time, and then tries those same strategies in his or her classroom. Professional development time is often spent in small or large groups reflecting on what went well, what might need improvement, reviewing student work, and/or further practice and demonstration of the strategy. Sometimes between professional development sessions, teachers observe each other in classrooms and give feedback as they practice the new strategies.
In staff development of this type, it is important to collect implementation data. Sometimes this data is collected in the form of logging reflections, sometimes it can be collected as "countable" data.
See teacher data collection for an example of a planning document for a building-wide professional development focus. |
