Assessing Educator Needs to Focus Professional Development
Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this action research project was to assess teachers' working knowledge and experience of implementing PLC's and Marzano's "best practices" for professional development as required by the Kalamazoo diocese.
Research Questions:
Do the teachers understand what Marzano articulates as best practices and are these best practices being implemented in the classroom? Are PLC's being used and are teachers comfortable with the format? Are the PLC's supporting the use of best practices?
