As superintendent of a school looking to make some meaningful change in what and how students learn, I could not be more please with our professional development day yesterday. While many teachers were involved in scoring state assessments, others worked in teams related to our district goals. One in particular set up a rotation for interested teachers to learn about blogs, wikis and pod casting. Not only has the feedback been extremely positive, not one presenter was brought in from out of district. Talented and knowledgeable faculty presented to their peers and that is where the power lies in schools. A lot of time and money is spent looking "outside" for the answers when most of the time, the answers are right under our noses.
