I think this example (and I'm sure there are others) provides a good segue in thinking about how policies could support what we envision for staff development. What would be the benefits of having policies in states like the ones below? What might be some of the challenges? Would you support such policies? What do you recommend we add or change? **Professional Development Plan** Each program should be funded at 1% of its annual staff hours to conduct a process for teachers to develop an annual professional development plan that dovetails with the program's improvement process (which starts from students' needs for improvements in instruction and services). **Relevance of Professional Development Activities** Every state literacy resource center or professional development system/agency and every program must use the professional development plans of the practitioners in their state or program to plan professional development activities relevant to teachers' and (ultimately) students' needs. Please provide feedback on these draft policies by either posting to the list or emailing me direct (jataylor@utk.edu). Thanks!
