X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Infinite Mobile Delivery (Hydra) SMTP v3.62.01 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Status: O Content-Length: 2722 Lines: 59 Hi Katrina, All, Thanks Katrina, for your response to my question. Program-based PD would make for an interesting discussion. We can also create a program-based PD section in the PD area of the ALE Wiki, along with state PD. Messages posted on the AALPD list that describe a program's PD initiatives can then be linked in the ALE Wiki -- creating the beginnings of a library of program and state PD activities. Another way to learn about issues/topics and share data from workshops and the like, would be for the facilitator to post a facilitator's agenda in the PD Registry. One could include some of the things you mention as well, like data, the accompanying handouts/overheads/powerpoints, facilitator notes or questions about how to improve upon/revise the training, etc. This is another way we might learn from one another. http://www.aalpd.org/pdregistry/index.html Speaking of PD topics, what are the some of the hot topics for professional development this year? What are some of the challenges folks on this list are facing in offering professional development? What, if anything, about the focus of your work has changed? Thanks again! Jackie >===== Original Message From nifl-aalpd@nifl.gov ===== >I think featuring a state's PD model/system is good, but what about states who don't have a model or system in place statewide? Here, training is mostly left to individual institutions even though the state provides a training calendar on the state website. Individuals from in or out of state may facilitate training at conferences throughout the year and for some that may be the only exposure to PD. I'd like to hear about issues/topics that others on the list have actually facilitated. It would be nice if there were a means to share data from workshops/training that others have been to other than training like COABE or other large groups. > >Regards > >Katrina Hinson >>> jataylor@utk.edu >>> >Hello everyone, >Earlier this fall, I requested ideas for discussion, and some responded.
