ISTE 2012: What Teachers Need from PD

  • Sometimes teachers don't know what they want from professional development, so we need to group them by ability rather than subject.
  • Personalized learning plays a critical role in finding professional development opportunities.
  • Teachers are always learning and IT needs to figure out the best way to support that continuous learning.

Participants:

  • Susan Brooks-Young, consultant for the Opportunity Group
  • Mark Washington, director of technology and media services for the Port Huron Area School District, Mich.
  • Will Richardson, author and speaker
  • Karen Cator, director of the Office of Educational Technology for the Dept. of Education
  • Kristin Daniels, technology integration specialist for Stillwater Area Public Schools, Minn.
  • Cameron Evans, national technology officer for Microsoft Education
  • Wayne Feller, technology integration specialist for Stillwater Area Public Schools, Minn.
  • Dr. Manuel Isquierdo, superintendent for the Sunnyside Unified School District, Ariz.
