Professional Development Resources and Opportunities
Professional Development: A Necessary Component For Change
Professional development, like all learning, is a lifelong process from the first day of preservice through retirement. It includes "deliberate learning activities undertaken by individual teachers or groups of teachers to improve policy, curriculum, or the teacher's professional knowledge and skills with a view toward more effectively teaching all students." (Teachers as Leaders, 1994, p.125)
Professional development must be an integral piece of the bigger picture if the World Languages Standards are to be implemented. Teachers must be empowered as both learners and leaders of this quest.
Because teachers will be responsible for carrying out the World Languages Standards, they should be part of a team to assess the needs of their school and its community as they relate to the standards. Those needs should then help determine specific areas to be addressed through professional development. This team may best be developed at the school level and should include all segments of the school community: staff, students, parents, community leaders, policy makers, and members of university faculty. Classroom-based research projects, networking, conferences and institutes, workshops, courses, consultations, mentoring, and independent study and reflection are possible avenues for the professional development needed.
Professional development must be designed to meet the needs of the district and relate to the World Languages Standards as well as the Alaska Teacher Education Standards. The steps for a curriculum development committee to design such professional development are:
