The Old and New Paradigm

I believe that adminstrators either have their blinders on or they are scared to go over to the new paradigm in regards to professional develoment. Yes, it is going to be more work to implement professional development that goes beyond the sit and get idea. It takes a great deal of team work but it will make for a much more succesful school climate. Everyone working together to develop a program that is effective across the entire school. The coaches train the rest of the staff and they are their for them for questions and extra help with implementation. It is something that needs to be a continous implementation or program. There is a great deal that goes into the new paradigm of professional development and I love it. It is such a wonderful thing to have something that you stick with and continue to learn about as a school community.
