Bev Showers gives an overview of the Iowa professional Development Model. Model calls for staff development that will directly affect student achievement. Focuses on group decision making, collaboration, simultaneity, and distributive leadership. Discusses the selection process (based on student need, pick only one specific area to focus on and have all stakeholders work together to achieve goal). The ongoing cycle requires selecting content that is research-based. The new learning is implemented with students after developing lessons collaboratively. There must be formative evaluation processes and finally a summative evaluation, so that goal must be measurable. Showers explains how the model differs from past practice. Staff development evaluation will not be opinion, but rather will be based on the impact it has on students. Deb Hansen and Bev Showers discuss District Career Development plans and FAQs (What are the Iowa Content Networks? Do buildings in the same district have to have the same plan? Implement the same strategies? What are the strengths and commonalities among schools?). Mentions some case study schools that have made great strides using their plans. One-week loan period.
