Delivering Relevant Staff Development: In an ideal world, teachers arrive at staff training sessions well rested, eager to learn, with easy access to the resources they’ll need to implement what they learn. Of course, schools are rarely ideal places. So, how do you, a K-12 in-service staff developer, university faculty or administrator, provide relevant staff development in the real world? Our mission is to attempt to offer you advice on how you can make your training sessions both relevant and effective for your team.

Some of the basic tips for a successful professional development course are:

  • Give participants an opportunity to show their concerns early enough
  • Refine your message and give as many good ideas as possible in the allocated time
  • “Edutain” with caution!
  • Share successes using relevant ideas/ topics
  • Stick to time frame
  • Get hands-on
  • Show respect and appreciation to all participants
  • Involve all participants
