Teachers typically sit and listen to an expert who advocates hands-on learning for students but puts little of this talk into practice during the training. This style of professional development is not only hypocritical but outdated and a disservice to professional educators. Teachers deserve better and can have what they need in a relatively inexpensive manner-by being given time to maintain a vibrant connection between training and practice. Ongoing professional development fosters the kind of support teachers do not have within their traditional culture of isolation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFiszer shows that teachers learn best through an ongoing professional development model that marks a cultural shift from one of traditional isolation to one befitting an educational practitioner. \u003ci\u003eHow Teachers Learn Best\u003c\/i\u003e reveals whether or not teachers believe professional development components such as reflective dialogue and peer observation can positively impact their teaching. The literature emphasizes a laboratory-type setting where teachers recognize their environment as learning enriched rather than learning impoverished. This book provides an excellent starting point for the shift in structure from one-shot, atheorectical, passive professional development sessions to sustained, proactive, theory-based activities that are part of a culture of ongoing professional development.","brand":"R \u0026 L Education","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47589085151383,"sku":"9781578860708","price":4817.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781578860708.webp?v=1774968710","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-teachers-learn-best-an-ongoing-professional-development-model-9781578860708","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
