⏱ Impactful and Lasting Change
⏱ Impactful and Lasting Change
Research on professional development tells us that impactful and lasting change requires time and persistence. Schools that invest time and resources in a specific vision for 5-7 years enjoy school-wide success. Change takes time. And pedagogical shifts take even longer. It is recommended that schools offer continuous, high quality professional development multiple times each year, supporting teachers as they practice new skills with their students.
In Pathways to the Common Core: Accelerating Achievement, Lucy Calkins suggests schools “develop systems and habits that promote continuous improvement.” From selecting texts to developing formative assessments, teachers need to be purposeful in their planning and make sure students have more opportunities to practice what Calkins calls “high-level” literacy skills. Establishing a system of support is the best way to bridge current practice to what the national standards are asking students and teachers to know and be able to do. LeMasterEDU is an integral part of that system of support.
