PD List Colleagues:
I know in the past we've discussed many factors that affect practitioner
participation in PD; and I know that in many areas, there is a wealth of
opportunity available for teachers and program administrators to
participate. But I'm wondering, from your perspective, what you're
seeing these days. Have you seen a change over the last one or more
years regarding frequency of participation in PD and in what types of
offerings?

* Overall, are practitioners in your area participating more, or less?
* What are the reasons, or your speculations, as to why? 
* Which types of PD are teachers participating in more, and in which
types are they not? For example, are they talking online more, or less?
Are they enrolling in more online PD, or less? More face-to-face? More
one-shot, or more sustained PD?
* Is participation in professional development growing, diminishing, or
maintaining, and in what directions? What may be accounting for any
trends you're seeing?

Please bring your piece of the puzzle to the table on any of these
questions... I'd be glad to add my bit if this is something you'd all
like to explore together.

I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Jackie
