What Current Context Future Context iPD Impact

Access One shot workshops with limited follow-up.

Job embedded with easy access to supports.

PD resources available to teachers 24/7 at work and at home.

Frequency Limited and/ or sporadic support. On demand and accessible support initiated by teacher.

Teachers participate in professional learning daily.

Quality Most systems do not define or measure PD.

PD has a demonstrated impact on student learning.

PD quality assessed through linkage to student learning data

Delivery Labor intensive limits the frequency of PD.

Menu of quality options offered on demand.

Increased access to PD without increasing labor costs.

Feedback Limited feedback; not tied to PD. Unlimited opportunities for feedback to inform PD.

Teachers have access to a range of informal, high quality feedback to support their instruction.

Design One size fits all. Differentiated learning strategies. Teachers have access to different modes of support through collaboration, 1:1 and alone.

Context No or little connection to data. PD informed by reliable sources and types of data.

Teachers have up to date information on how to improve student learning.

Coherence Fragmented. Aligned with CCSS and measures of effective teaching.

Professional learning is integrated into the daily routine of teachers.
