PD Evaluation Webinar

I'm excited and a little nervous about moderating my first webinar on Friday, May 16th. I will be using Elluminate to facilitate a
1-hour discussion on PD Evaluation. Due to PD Evaluation practitioners being a small few, I am trying to invite a small but talented panel to join me as we chat about the different types of evaluation, what type of PD evaluation is already being used in our district, and perhaps what types of promising practices exist that we should consider. We'll see what happens between now and then. I'll be posting the BE number shortly so that you can join us if you are interested.

Great Marketing Opportunity

On Thursday, April 10, 2008, I was invited to give a short presentation on PD Evaluation at the Professional Development Coordinating Council (PDCC) meeting, here at HRD-Davie. The attendees at these monthly meetings consist of PD program managers and other professional developers from the district. What I was asked to do was to give an overview of PD evaluation, how it ties into their work, and then to share some tools that they could use to evaluate the PD they work with on a daily basis. The short presentation went well, and I used the opportunity to market the new PD Evaluation Application course that we are offering this summer. I also used the opportunity to direct any interested professional developers to this very blog as a resource for PD evaluation. I am willing and able to meet with any BCPS professional developer who would like to begin planning evaluation, or would like support with conducting formative and/or summative evaluation(s) for their PD program(s). Contact me via CAB or at 754-321-5026 if you are ready to to take the quantum leap...
