We do facilitate full faculty in-service programs, when that format best fits the school’s objectives for the identified professional development. Some examples of large group programs would be:

• An overview of the Accreditation Standards to build understanding of the concepts embedded in the standards.
• An introductory workshop to Danielson’s text The Framework for Teaching, to build understanding of the uses of the Framework for Teaching in schools and school systems.
• Understand the use of rubrics as tools for classroom instruction.

Most educators prefer professional development that is not “fly by” or “one shot deals”. And in many cases, full faculty in-service programs are perceived that way by faculties. To address that perception, full faculty programs are designed to be constructivist and interactive, and are delivered in settings where faculty can sit in small table groups and work together during the course of the program.
