Synopsis Professional Development That Sticks by : Fred Ende
How can we approach professional development in a thoughtful way, keep teachers motivated, and make the process worthwhile? It’s a truth that school leaders can’t deny: teachers tend to think of PD as a distraction from the “real work” of the classroom—as something to get through instead of an opportunity to engage, learn, and grow as professionals. Too often, they’re absolutely right. When PD is packaged as a one-size-fits-all, one-and-done experience, even content that teachers might greet with enthusiasm won’t stay with them for long. It just doesn’t stick. In Professional Development That Sticks, Fred Ende makes the case for a better approach—one that melds traditional PD structures with personalized learning. Here, school leaders will find a framework for developing professional learning experiences that spark and maintain teacher motivation and lead to real changes in practice. Ende’s three-stage professional development for learning (PDL) process covers critical aspects of planning, providing, and following up. In addition, PDL’s Think, Act, and Reflect method ensures your teachers will acquire meaningful, deep, “sticky” learning that lasts.

Synopsis Evaluation of Principles and Best Practices in Personalized Learning by : Tenon, Susan R.
A tremendous amount of money is being steered toward personalized learning (PL) initiatives at the federal, state, and local levels, and it is important to understand the return on the investment in students’ futures. It is only through rigorous discussions that educators and policymakers will be able to determine if PL is a passing fad or if it possesses the staying power necessary to show a positive impact on student achievement. Evaluation of Principles and Best Practices in Personalized Learning is a critical scholarly publication that explores the modern push for schools to implement PL environments and the continuing research to understand the best strategies and implementation methods for personalizing education. It seeks to begin creating a standardized language and standardized approach to the PL initiative and to investigate the implications it has on the educational system. Additionally, this book adds to the professional discussion of PL by looking at both the advantages and disadvantages of PL, the teacher’s role in PL, creating a PL program to scale, the role of technology and PL, the special education population and PL, emerging research on PL, and case studies involving PL. Featuring research on a wide range of topics such as blended learning, preservice teachers, and special education, this book is ideal for teachers, administrators, academicians, policymakers, researchers, and students.

Synopsis Engaging High School Science Teachers in Personalized Professional Learning by : Thomas Arthur Reinhardt
The current educational climate, featuring standards-based reforms and reliance on summative assessment and managerial control has strained the professional work of teachers by simultaneously demanding compliance with reform effort and control of classrooms while expecting in-depth professional learning to shift their pedagogical strategies to provide deeper cognitive experiences for students. Currently, the managerial and high-stakes accountability forces on teachers are prevailing, leaving teachers in a state of low motivation with limited time and resources to further their pedagogical content knowledge. In addition, the educational system lacks the resources and technical ability to provide high quality professional learning experiences for teachers. This design development study attempts to motivate high school science teachers into a state of learning through classroom experimentation and reflection on student learning. This research involved seven science teachers at high-poverty, urban high school with a large portion of English learners and student of color. During a series of seven 90-minute workshops, the participating teachers created personalized professional learning plans based on their self-identified teaching characteristics and goals for their own learning. Subsequently, they attempted pedagogical strategies and presented artifacts of students learning to their colleagues. Being highly contextualized research, design development studies provide the great insight into the specific context where implemented but also illuminate deep challenges facing our educational system, such as motivating teachers to learn advanced pedagogical strategies in response to student learning. Results from participant responses to structured and semi-structured pre/post interview questions combined with analysis of process data collected during the implementation of the workshop series yielded salient trends in the participating teachers’ learning. While most participants attempted new strategies and began tracking learning by reviewing student artifacts, the pedagogical strategies attempted focused on general engagement strategies rather than deeper science pedagogical strategies. This suggested a willingness to try new strategies and a possible need for explicit examples of high-quality science teaching strategies during professional development experiences. Additionally, the teachers deepened their reflective conversation throughout the project and began to focus more on their learning and control of classroom experiences over the perceived deficits of the student population. However, the language used to describe teaching and learning did not advance to the desired technical level, suggesting a need for additional time repeating learning cycles with a learning experience to bolster technical analysis of learning. This design development study reinforces much of the theorized suggestions for high quality professional learning in science education. Questions remain regarding sustainability and the effects of prolonged and engaging teacher learning opportunities.

Synopsis Handbook on Personalized Learning for States, Districts, and Schools by : Marilyn Murphy
The recent passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) presents new opportunities and greater flexibility in efforts to personalize learning for all children. The Handbook on Personalized Learning for States, Districts, and Schools provides insight and guidance on maximizing that new flexibility. Produced by the Center on Innovations in Learning (CIL), one of seven national content centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education, this volume suggests how teachers can enhance personalized learning by cultivating relationships with students and their families to better understand a child’s learning and motivation. Personalized learning also encourages the development of students’ metacognitive, social, and emotional competencies, thereby fostering students’ self?direction in their own education, one aimed at mastery of knowledge and skills and readiness for career and college. Chapters address topics across the landscape of personalized learning, including co?designing instruction and learning pathways with students; variation in the time, place, and pace of learning, including flipped and blended classrooms; and using technology to manage and analyze the learning process. The Handbook’s chapters include Action Principles to guide states, districts, and schools in personalizing learning.

Synopsis New Digital Technology in Education by : Wan Ng
This book addresses the issues confronting educators in the integration of digital technologies into their teaching and their students’ learning. Such issues include a skepticism of the added value of technology to educational learning outcomes, the perception of the requirement to keep up with the fast pace of technological innovation, a lack of knowledge of affordable educational digital tools and a lack of understanding of pedagogical strategies to embrace digital technologies in their teaching. This book presents theoretical perspectives of learning and teaching today’s digital students with technology and propose a pragmatic and sustainable framework for teachers’ professional learning to embed digital technologies into their repertoire of teaching strategies in a systematic, coherent and comfortable manner so that technology integration becomes an almost effortless pedagogy in their day-to-day teaching. The materials in this book are comprised of original and innovative contributions, including empirical data, to existing scholarship in this field. Examples of pedagogical possibilities that are both new and currently practised across a range of teaching contexts are featured.
