Evidenced Based PD: Implications for Further Research

From LiteracyTentWiki

For the most part, implications and questions are presented as originally written by participants at the Meeting of Minds Symposium. This means that some items might be fragments of thoughts and therefore hard to understand. If you were a participant and see such a response, please feel free to edit the implication to reflect what you or your table was thinking.

To comment on the implications, use the edit function of the wiki. To add a new implication, use a single *. To add a comment to an implication, use **. Using this notation creates the following structure:

Implications for Further Research

• How do paid PD activities affect quality type of PD?
• Research materials should be written for multiple audiences, not just other researchers
• What is staff development return on investment on learner gains?
• Further research on how to motivate teachers to take an interest in research
• Does the PD intervention result in a change in the teachers’ behavior?
