What Does Teaching Really Look Like?

What does teaching really look like behind closed doors in our schools in classrooms across the country? Are we engaging students in high-level thinking skills or are we, more often than not, reinforcing the memorization of facts for an upcoming test? What strategies are teachers utilizing? How is technology actually being used by teacher and students to impact learning?

Howard Pitler and Elizabeth Ross Hubbell from McREL will share answers to those questions and more, not based on speculation or on research studies, but on more than 10,000 actual classroom observations conducted by administrators and others from 26 states throughout our country. All of these observations were conducted using McREL's Power Walkthorugh observation software. The presenters will share data, the observation process, and steps they recommend to tailor professional development to the individual school and/or district. Rather than making your professional development "one size fits all", learn what the more critical needs are and how to address those needs.
