Join AALPD tomorrow, October 11th at 3:00 CST for their monthly webinar.
This Webinar will define current thinking on the characteristics of effective professional development (PD). We will look at the 7 biggest problems, based on research, with traditional PD, and we will explore ways to minimize or eliminate these problems to plan for effective and successful PD opportunities.
