Unpacking the Standards
Description
P-12 standards provide teachers with a necessary guide for developing curriculum. Consequently, leaders must provide ongoing differentiated professional development to equip teachers with strategies and tools to drive curriculum, instruction, assessments and student achievement.
Compose a differentiated professional development plan for teachers to guide them in unpacking the standards for implementation in P-12 schools.
Step 1. Research
Research differentiated professional development best practices for teachers when implementing standards. Consider the importance of learning styles for adults, modeling, and additional research-based strategies.
Step 2. Develop
Develop several activities to meet the needs of your adult learners. The professional development should be detailed and specific and include activities for unpacking the standards, as well as an itemization and budget for materials needed. The plan should cover three consecutive professional development sessions complete with objectives and methods to evaluate learning.
Step 3. Reflect
Reflect on your plan and defend your professional development standard as a professional alternative for schools to implement.
Step 4. Compose
Compose a differentiated professional development plan for teachers for unpacking the standards. Format your document in APA style
