A Principal's Reflections

JULY 22, 2013

We can all agree that professional development is essential in any profession, especially education. It is an opportunity to become better at what we do as well as gain knowledge on new pedagogical techniques, learning theories, leadership strategies, technologies, and federal/state mandates. Something has to give though.

Over the last couple of weeks I have really started looking more deeply at the way technology can enhance different learning theories and instructional practice. If educators themselves aren't good at this, that worries me a bit. That is the worst thing to happen in education. When someone feels marginalized they shut down.

The enthusiasm shared by educators who understand that social media will forever impact their lives and practice is very reminiscent of the vibe expressed by dot-commers two decades ago during the first wave of the Internet boom—this is a very good thing. I’ve served as both a journalist and participant within each movement.

This happens to educators more often that we can count. Many schools and districts are trying to do the right thing by meeting the needs of as many educators as possible when it comes to professional learning. But the reality is most schools and districts are not equipped to personalize the professional development of every educator.

The method of doing professional development for educators has largely not changed over the decades. Pedagogy is what most educators are familiar with because it was taught to them to enable them to teach kids. This holds true in local, state, regional and national conferences of most education organizations.
