Professional Development Metaphors

National Staff Development Council (NSDC)

  • NSDC Professional Development Standards
    The National Staff Development Council's revised Standards for Staff Development reflect what NSDC and the broader staff development community have learned about professional learning since the creation of the original standards in 1995.
    The revision of the standards was guided by three questions:
    1. What are all students expected to know and be able to do?
    2. What must teachers know and do in order to ensure student success?
    3. Where must staff development focus to meet both goals?
  • Staff Development Library: Resources For Staff Development
    Time has been used to structure what happens in schools, both in and out of the classroom. How can time be shaped to serve improvement efforts? How can teachers find time for their learning? How do alternate schedules affect student learning? This selection of resources will help you explore the issue of time and learn strategies to use time wisely.
  • Journal of Staff Development
    This well-respected, quarterly journal addresses timely issues such as restructuring, the role of principals, program planning, ensuring results with students, and follow-up strategies.
  • Professional Development IQ Test
