CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE teacher professional development
Highly applied, practice-oriented, participatory, and iterative: Chris Spohr Social is often a process of step-by-step familiarization/mastery via “learning by struggling”, and Chris Spohr Social initiatives are too often designed to be “one-size-fits-all”, uni-modal (i.e., lecture-based), and overly theoretical, such that teachers never obtain a working knowledge or practice new content/techniques.
