About this Small Blog

Hello! We are a team of educators participating in a reading endorsement class at The University of Dayton. This is our project for the final module in course EDT 650, The Professional Development of Teacher Leaders. 

Together, we reviewed the readings for Module 6, taking specific note of evaluation processes and criteria as described by Guskey (2002). The readings included:

Campbell, P. F., & Malkus, N. N. (2011). The impact of elementary mathematics coaches on student achievement. The Elementary School Journal, 111, 430 - 454.
Desimone, L. M. (2009). Improving impact studies of teachers’ professional development: Toward better conceptualizations and measures. Educational Researcher, 38, 181 - 199. DOI: 10.3102/0013189X08331140.
Guskey, T. R. (2002). Does it make a difference? Evaluating professional development. Educational Leadership, 59(6), pp. 45 – 51.
Bridgeton Public Schools Plan for Professional Learning 2012 - 2013


Using the Five Levels of Professional Development Evaluation (Guskey), the team evaluated the Bridgeton Public Schools District Plan for Professional Development. Each member of the team took one level and described how the plan addressed that level; finally, as a team we each shared two big ideas about teacher leadership and change that we would take away from this learning experience.
