Adequate resources to  develop and deliver meaningful PD in a time of great
uncertainty and limited budgets.  Resources include time, money, and
staffing and  administrators  up and down the line that value true
professional development as a means to improve services to students.  This
goes along with the lack of trust in themselves and trust in their students
on the part of many teachers and then to rely on teacher centered
instruction and adherence to the mantra  that expectations in and of
themselves is enough to motivate students to achieve.

Subject: [ProfessionalDevelopment 2639] Professional Development Challenge?

 

What do you feel is the biggest professional development challenge for adult
educators in the next 5-10 years?

 

I would be interested in any opinions or thoughts on the top issues we will
face.

 

Thanks,

Kathryn
