"Implementing Professional Development well requires responsiveness to the needs of educators and learners and to the contexts in which teaching and learning will take place."
–Linda Darling-Hammond, Effective Teacher Professional Development
These individuals or groups play a critical role in successful PD implementation because they have personal or professional interest in the outcome.
Organizational change occurs as individuals are inspired & empowered to pull together, aligning efforts and building momentum towards mutually-reinforcing goals.
Designing for intention by mapping "backwards"— identify desired outcomes, determine what qualifies as evidence of learning, and plan the instructional experience & activities to make that learning visible.
Learners reside at the heart of education. Recognizing the needs and existing knowledge that they bring by building it into the instructional plan enhances their ability to learn & teach others.
Activities, tasks, & assessments should align with the intended learning outcomes & progress in a logical, cohesive, and cumulative sequence.
