Global Perspectives on Teacher Learning
http://tinyurl.com/358e7t Global Perspectives on Teacher Learning: Improving Policy and Practice This publication is the 84th in the Fundamentals of Educational Planning series. It looks at all forms of teacher learning, formal and informal, from teachers' own early schooling, through their training, and on to the end of their teaching career. It argues that to formulate policy and design effective programmes for teacher preparation and professional development, the whole spectrum of teacher learning must be considered. |

Continuing professional development in effective schools
http://tinyurl.com/hdd3b The logical chain: continuing professional development in effective schools This report looks at schools’ arrangements for the professional development of their staff. It is based on visits to 29 schools whose previous inspection reports identified strong practice in this area. It also considers the arrangements for staff’s professional development in different subjects following inspectors’ visits to a representative sample of about 130 schools. It describes the most effective practice as a logical chain of procedures which place continuous professional development at the heart of schools’ planning for improvement. The findings are intended to disseminate best practice and to provide help to institutions seeking to improve this aspect of their work. |

GTC - Yeacher Professional Development
http://www.gtce.org.uk/gtcinfo/cpdhome.asp GTC General Teaching Council for England Professional Development - working towards career-long professional development for all teachers Teaching is a learning profession, and teachers are committed to continuing professional development (CPD) throughout their careers. The GTC? professional development advisory committee develops policy to enhance teachers?CPD. The CPD committee believes that a profession that is vibrant and forward-looking has CPD at its heart. The General Teaching Council for England is an independent professional body with a governing council of 64 Members. The GTC is an independent professional body for the teaching profession in England. It was set up by the 1998 Teaching and Higher Education Act. It combines statutory advisory and regulatory powers and is answerable to our own members rather than to government. We provide an opportunity for teachers to shape the development of education policy and to maintain and set the professional standards for teaching. We do this through regular consultation with teachers via our national programme of teacher meetings, online community discussion forums, written communication with individual teachers, visiting schools and working with other education organisations, associations and unions. |

Identifying and Grooming the Pioneers
http://staffdevelop.org/cadre.html The better the job we do of identifying, grooming and rewarding local talent, the greater the professional growth and development we will see. It is a simple [but usually ignored] truth. We are too often penny wise and people foolish. Change takes root when grown from local seeds planted by those who know the soil, the sky and the prevailing winds. Programs and strategies grown elsewhere usually flounder and founder. professional development | teacher | |

Professional Development : Keeping Up To Date
http://www.techlearning.com/db_area/archives/WCE/archives/profdev.htm Technology changes fast, but schools rarely do. Yet in just a few short years, computers and educational Web sites are increasing in number and use in classrooms. How does an educator keep up? We hear that professional development is the key, but there's so little time. So technology itself is often the answer. There are hundreds of Web sites with information and materials that are geared toward professional development. |
