Extractions: School Administrators Center ... Staffing School Administrators Article S C H O O L A D M I N I S T R A T O R S A R T I C L E What are the keys to a successful staff development program? This look at two award-winning programs at Hungerford School in Staten Island, New York, and at Montview Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado might provide some insight. Ask Dr. Mary McInerney, the principal of Hungerford School in Staten Island, New York, what makes the school's staff development program successful, and she replies, "The staff. They are responsible." Dr. McInerney credits a unique degree of staff involvement for creating the teacher development program that made Hungerford one of six schools and two school districts nationwide to be honored this year by U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley as part of The National Awards Program for Model Professional Development It wasn't always that way. When Dr. McInerney first arrived at the school, staff development workshops were held after school, and relatively few staff members participated. "When I came here as principal ten years ago," Dr. McInerney says, "I saw that staff workshops weren't well attended, even though the topics were very good. We asked staff members for feedback and found many had childcare responsibilities or second jobs that kept them from staying after school."

Extractions: Abstract: It is argued here that staff development in the public elementary and secondary schools of the United States is misguided in both policy and practice. In its current form it represents an imperfect consumer market in which "proof of purchase" substitutes for investment in either school improvement or individual development. A policy model based on investment in school improvement is shown, in which different assumptions about how to improve schools are linked to different alternatives for the design and implementation of staff development. These are argued to be based on an investment rather than consumption model. Public policy about staff development for teachers is confused by both lack of clear purpose and by unsatisfactory decision criteria. Lanier and Little (1986) concluded that "staff development has not generally been the product of coherent policy, nor has it been systematically integrated with institutional priorities for curriculum and instructional improvement" (p. 562). Consequently, policy makers have little opportunity to assess either costs or benefits of what is a large public investment. Nonetheless they continue to view staff development-sometimes called continuing education, in-service training, or professional development-as a basic tool for changing teacher behaviors, and therefore schools. The view may be misplaced or wrong-headed but it prevails.

Extractions: by Deborah S. Staires, Ed.D., Teacher and Co-Owner of MacWizards last updated Tuesday, April 1, 2003 Arizona is in an educational crisis of no small magnitude. According to the lastest 2002 figures from the Arizona School Board Association, Arizona is ranked 49th in spending for education, 33rd in teacher salaries according to the National Education Association, and, according to the Arizona Department of Education, Arizona had a high school dropout rate of almost 22%. "Nearly 25 percent of blacks and more than 32 percent of Hispanics in Arizona's class of 2000 became dropouts. Only 55.9 percent of Native Americans graduated in four years. " Arizona Daily Wildcat. The nation isn't doing any better. According to USA Today, "Currently, 58% of the nation's low-income children lack basic reading skills; 54% struggle similarly at math." Federal and state funding rules almost prohibit an effective learning environment. Millions of dollars have been spent through e-rate funds to "wire" schools. In some district this has now been done three times with e-rate money. First with regular wire, then with copper wire, now with fiber optics. Better hubs, bigger switches, but never any computers. This, all the while, reducing the numbers of certified technology teachers in computer labs, replaced by classified aids and technicians with no formal training in educational methodologies much less how to integrate technology into curriculum (what is curriculum?). Administrators seem to be banking that all teachers will become interested and knowledgeable in how to effectively do this, but it simply isn't happening.

Extractions: Tried and True: September 1997The information in this publication was current as of September 1997, and has not been updated since. Some services described in the publication may no longer be available. Teaching Cases: New Approaches to Teacher Education and Staff Development A Program That Supports the Development and Use of Cases in Education Developed and tested by WestEd Patterned after a method long used successfully to prepare lawyers and business professionals, case discussions in education focus on detailed scenarios written about the real life experiences of teachers or administrators. WestEd's use of cases is based on the recognition that the work of educators, also, is informed not only by research but by experience. Because cases reflect reality, they help teachers learn to connect theories and concepts to the complex, idiosyncratic world of practice. Discussion of cases enhances analytic thought, reflection, inquiry, and, with some cases, content knowledge. In the math cases project, teachers develop this capacity through the careful and exciting process of reflection and inquiry generated by facilitated discussions with other teachers about math cases that portray real-life teaching dilemmas. In one case, for example, a student asks the teacher: "How can 100 percent of something be just one thing?" The question, itself, can give a teacher pause. Although most of us would agree that 100 percent means the whole thing or "one," the concept can be confusing. If you poll 23 people and 100 percent respond that they like toothpaste, does 100 percent mean 23 or 1? What seems obvious on the surface is really quite complex when you're trying to promote understanding of a concept and not just memorization of a rule.

Extractions: Benefits of Membership How to Become a Member Member Profiles Conferences ... By-Laws The Arizona Distance Learning Association (AZDLA) is a nonprofit organization formed officially as a chapter with USDLA in 1999. The association's purpose is to promote the development and application of distance learning for education and training. The constituents we serve include Pre-K through grade 12 education, higher education, home school education, continuing education, corporate training, military and government training, and telemedicine. The association has become the leading source of information and recommendations for government agencies, Congress, industry and those entering into the development of distance learning programs for the State of Arizona and we will continue to grow in our delivery of this information to all entities across the state. Providing courses and electronic field trips are among the principal applications for distance learning in Pre-K through grade 12 education. Distance learning is also used to support rural and inner city classes with student enrichment, student courses, staff development and in-service training for teachers and administrators. Further, distance learning is used to share classes among schools for those areas who may not be able to find good teachers to teach honors courses like math and science. Distance learning provides a way to share those types of classes and employ one instructor. In higher education, distance learning is providing undergraduate and advanced degrees to students in offices, at community colleges and at various receive sites. Students for whom convenience may be a crucial factor in receiving college credit are earning degrees by interactive instructional television, ITFS and other means of delivery. These students may be place-bound or time-bound and this type of instruction provides access to all who wish to pursue a degree.
