Hello Everyone ~

 

I am glad to see us opening up the conversations about PD quality
standards. It surprises me that more of us have not chimed in
specifically on this. But now that the Thanksgiving holiday is behind
us, I imagine that will change! 

 

Evelyn, you wrote:

 

"The drawback of adult education professional development standards is
that it is a relatively new concept for our field and the need for
learning what standards are, the importance of the standards, and the
place to use standards is in the early stages."

 

I agree. Evelyn, you did your dissertation research on professional
development quality standards, yes? I'm wondering, what do you (and
others - please chime in) see as the difference between having PD
Quality Standards versus guiding principles for professional
development? If both are based in research, what may be the advantages
of having one over the other?

 

Thanks, Jackie
