Matching the strategies to the need
Have you ever wondered what the best professional development strategy would be for a specific learning context? Perhaps you are in a group of dispersed teachers or have disperse learners? Perhaps you are introducing an aspect of a Training Package and want to find an innovative approach to its delivery? Or perhaps there is a policy change requiring all staff to undertake training urgently?
Well, the updated matrix PD Strategies:Learning Context (Matching the Professional Development Strategies, Theories and Delivery Options to the Learning Context) will support you to make an informed choice.
Originally developed by Walsh et al in 2003, this updated version presents a matrix of professional development strategies, theories and delivery options against a myriad of learning contexts, and provides a link to an explanation of each.
While it isn’t intended to be definitive, the matrix will serve as a guide to assist you in designing an appropriate professional development program to meet your specific need.
