Professional Development
I enjoyed the professional development discussions. I agree that it's best to let the data drive your professional development. If the professional development activities are chosen by the teachers based on school needs then there is probably a better chance for ownership to develop rather than teacher buy-in. I also liked the idea of teacher experts in the school facilitating the meetings. Why turn to outside experts if there are teachers in the building already successful in a particular area of need?
