Powerful Professional Learning in Science
July 7-10, 2008, Grove Park Inn, Asheville, NC
Co-hosted by National Science Education Leadership Association & North Carolina Science Leadership Association
At this conference, participants will explore the differences between professional development and professional learning. They will experience several powerful designs themselves – deeply enough that they will be able to facilitate these designs with the educators with whom they work. They will evaluate current professional learning programs according to a variety of criteria. Then, using a Backmapping Model for planning, implementing, and evaluating professional learning, they will create a plan to remodel current professional learning approaches so that they more closely align with students’ learning needs, meet National Staff Development Council’s standards for staff development, and model the type of learning educators want their students to experience.\\
