Below are some scenarios where some find that "range of teacher experience" may be challenging to address. Please add scenarios that you feel also belong in this list.

If you have strategies for addressing these or other scenarios, please add them here:

Strategies for addressing range of teacher experience in PD

1) We offer what is clearly labeled a course in "Excel Basics" or an "Introduction to the Adult Learner" - describing the target as "those new to the topic." And yet even with that we have a broad range of "skill levels" - one person who is competent in using a computer, but has never used Excel sitting next to someone who still has difficulty using a mouse - or whose keyboarding skills are extremely low. Or we have a participant with 20 years education experience, sitting next to one who came to AE fresh out of college, or one who has worked several years in Adult corporate training but has no formal Education training?


2) Funding is provided for only one "workshop/course/training" during this time frame or in this area of the state. We have a clear request from our statewide needs assessment for help with the topic of "multi-level instruction." How do we present this material such that the new folks aren't overwhelmed, but the more experienced AE folks feel challenged/get what they need?
