Systems of Large-Scale Professional Development
This resource is a presentation at the first Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Annual Leadership Meeting, showcasing the features of a high-quality, large-scale professional development (PD) system. It used data from a national survey on science and mathematics education to compile and share results on teacher PD experiences, by type, and strategic recommendations for meeting the new demands of the NGSS.
This resource is a downloadable PowerPoint presentation with 12 slides, showing a study conducted by Horizon Research Inc. to set recommendations for large-scale PD systems to support implementation of the new NGSS. It emphasizes leadership development and incorporation of advice from the field among the shared strategies.
