The ProLO project collects evidence of change in practice and student outcomes in three ways: ProLO project data, agency (program) self-report data, and the Division’s NRS data.

Comments
In the most recent webinar from AALPD, they discussed high quality professional development and the approach used in PA. Highlights from the webinar include the following:
To achieve these goals, PA established professional learning communities with wrap around coaching. Their outcomes led to increased teacher collaboration (including teacher use of technology) increase in number of teacher's implementing standards- aligned classrooms.
PLCs (Professional Learning Communities) focus on job embedded learning. Check out this article about PLCs. Have you ever been a member of a PLC? Have you ever created one? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Sincerely,
