What is Professional Devolpment ?
What is Professional Devolpment ?
Professional development is a way for individuals and teams to expand and/or deepen their skills as educators. Professional development (sometimes abbreviated as PD) generally refers to formal classes, seminars, and workshops. These can involve learning new teaching techniques and methodology based on emerging research, as well as strategies for implementation. However, professional development can also focus on general skills, such as interpersonal communication, or corollary subject areas, such as child psychology.

This semester, all PDs come in several types:
5E Lesson Plan: These are similar to how teachHOUSTON classes' 5E Lessons from Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.
Panel Discussion: These are where a moderator will lead the session and ask questions to panelists who can be current Student Teachers, Master Teachers, etc.
Program Specific: These are special PDs to present various opportunities for promote programs that can be relevant for your teachHOUSTON and teaching careers.
Hands-on Workshop: These are special workshops to train on specific teaching skills needed for the teachHOUSTON program.
The majority of our PDs will be in person. We are still offering a few online via Teams, for those unable to make the in-person sessions, but we hope to see you!
Two PD credits will be required for each teachHOUSTON class and each PD will count as 1 credit. Some 30-minute PDs will count as 0.5 credit.
To receive credit for attending each PD, be sure to actively participate in them, and submit the reflection form at the end!
