PD: Ongoing process Often, but not always,  mandatoryProvided to larger audiencesMay contain more theory

Training: May be provided to student and/or teacherMay contain more “hands‐on” interactionProvided to a smaller number of individualsContent is typically on one specific tool or idea

Note: The answers to the question are summative based on audience participation and discussion

We can’t stay awa…zzzzzzzzzzzzSchedule conflictsLow attendance Not necessarily of interest, but is mandatoryI don’t want what is being offeredAfter school training—teachers don’t want to spend their free time doing PDNot enough time in the dayIf it not mandatory, I have too many other work related things to do!Need an incentive beyond knowledge gained(stipend, credit, giveaways)I know it when I am there, but not good follow up for retentionStaff is at different levels of learning (many teachers are not “techies”)Need to be ready for the information—needs to be “just in time” trainingOnly reaching a small population (mostly special educators)—we need to reach out to ALL teachers to convey messages of UDL and Differentiated Instruction

Just starting to explore this concept.  Haven’t actually implemented it yet.  The Ideas:

After viewing a DVD and answer the questions in the booklet, get together to discuss what you experienced, either web‐based (online forums) or in personsCreate a product from what you heard on a podcast or saw on the DVD and then share that somehow (wiki, existing online resource depending on the topic)

Page 12: As presented on May 7 2009 at the MATN Conference · Created using Wordle.net As presented on May 7. th, 2009 at the MATN Conference

When training on a specific tool that is not available to general educators (for example, a specific AAC device) form communities of teachers who are working with students who are using these devices. 

Example:  5 teachers (along with related services) in the county are working with students who are using a SpringBoard Lite.  Quarterly meetings to bring these minds together to share strategies, data collection techniques, and resources may decrease likelihood of abandonment, decrease time spend recreating same resources, and increase student achievement/integration.
