Recensione

"The classic just got better. It makes the connection between student learning data and goals for professional development and it introduces new resources and strategies. It's a 'must-read' for anybody who is serious about enhancing teaching and learning."

(Gerry Wheeler, Executive Director)

"Educators who are no longer content with slipshod approaches to professional development will find both guidance and inspiration in this second edition. This edition both updates the groundbreaking work presented in the first edition and places the design framework firmly within the context of standards-based reform and a performance-based culture that seeks to continuously improve professional practice and student achievement."

(Dennis Sparks, Executive Director)

"This important work reveals the layered complexities of mathematics/science professional development, while providing tools for navigating a difficult terrain. It is a powerful resource for supporting mathematics and science leaders, tying together content, context, and design."

(Judith Mumme, Project Director)

"The second edition of Designing Professional Development for Teachers of Science and Mathematics...is a professional learning classic for every staff developer, regardless of subject area." (The Journal of the National Staff Development Council, Fall 2004)

She had previously served as director of pro­fessional development and outreach at the National Research Council’s Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education, where she promoted and monitored standards-based education, especially the National Science Education Standards. Susan was a leading researcher, writer, and professional developer who enjoyed collaborating with others to address education’s toughest problems. She was the lead author of sev­eral books, including Continuing to Learn: A Guidebook for Teacher Develop­ment, An Action Guide for School Improvement, and Elementary School Science for the 90s. In addition, she wrote numerous reports on teacher development for the National Center for Improving Science Education, as well as chap­ters and articles on related topics.
