Sustaining Effective Instruction

Developing and Sustaining Effective Instruction

Overview

Traditionally personnel development in public education, particularly in-service staff development, has consisted of presentations by experts in the field on a variety of topics designed to improve instruction.  It has been assumed that the teachers receiving the staff development will return to their classrooms and begin using the new information and/or skills to improve their instructional and/or management proficiency.  This rarely happens.   To assure changes in classroom instruction the definition of staff development or personnel development must be changed to include follow-through strategies designed to implement changes that improves instruction.  In addition, the changes made to improve instruction should be closely monitored to assure that they are sustained over time.

This section of the NCSIP II Website includes:

• An Overview of Effective Staff Development
