ED 723 Professional Development and Supervision
(3 credits)
Students in this course integrate theories of human behavior and organizational development with effective practices in the current models of teacher evaluation (Hunter and Danielson & McGreal); performance-based compensation models; and the legal realities of implementing these systems.
In this course, students also learn how to use professional learning to lead professional development and change in schools. Students examine research findings on effective professional learning, demonstrate an understanding of the National Staff Development Council Standards, and job-embedded professional learning, such as mentoring, coaching, feedback, study groups, peer observation and learning teams. Participants examine the design and impact of distance learning, multimedia, and Web technologies when designing and providing professional learning opportunities and systems.
