1. Establish Professional Learning Communities.
There’s no doubt about it: Traditional professional development can be very pricey. By the time you consider speaker fees, the cost of texts, and hiring substitutes to cover classes, districts can easily spend tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars on PD initiatives. “But this model of professional development—with a workshop here and a day-long meeting there—doesn’t produce lasting results,” says Mike Mattos, principal of Pioneer Middle School in Tustin, California, and co-author of Pyramid Response to Intervention: RTI, Professional Learning Communities, and How to Respond When Kids Don’t Learn.
2. Partner With Researchers.
Around the country, university faculty are working to develop innovative classroom lessons, test new educational technologies, and uncover effective instructional practices. Dr. Dawnene Hassett, assistant professor of curriculum and instruction at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, says, “In a study I am conducting with K–3 teachers, we are looking at how highly visual and interactive children’s literature can help teach reading and writing skills. As a result, the classroom teachers [get] lesson plans, materials, and ideas they can use for years.” Researchers are often developing new resources and tools. By partnering with local university faculty and other researchers, teachers may get to pilot a new math curriculum that emphasizes social justice, try out a revolutionary iPhone application, or experiment with using videogames to enhance content area learning.
3. Encourage Teachers to Use Social-Networking Sites.
In schools, a lot of the discussion about social networking focuses on how students are using (or misusing) popular sites like Facebook or MySpace. But social-networking sites can be incredibly useful for teachers, too. Need an idea for how to teach the popular young adult novel The Book Thief? Curious about how Second Life can enhance classroom learning? The answers to all these questions can be found online. But social-networking sites aren’t just about linking people to resources. They’re about linking people to people—and fostering critical discussion.
4. Make Collaboration a Priority.
In theory, most schools want teachers to collaborate with one another to develop lessons, address individual students’ learning needs, and share ideas and resources. In reality, most teachers have little time within the school day to do so. In elementary schools with 20-minute lunch periods or high schools with five minutes between classes, there simply isn’t enough time to have meaningful (let alone ongoing) discussions. To address that, administrators are rethinking how to structure the school day to value teachers’ collaborative work and professional dialogue.

5. Manage and Share Data.
This year, Atlanta Public Schools began piloting its Teacher Quality Dashboard Initiative. Partially funded by a $390,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the district is gathering and storing information about the performance of its estimated 4,000 teachers, primarily their students’ grades, test scores, and attendance, in an online data warehouse, says Chuck Burbridge, the district’s chief financial officer. The dashboard will enable school administrators to quickly review teacher performance, identify those who may need coaching, and build teacher teams more effectively.
