Abstract or Description

Context:

• The State of Georgia adopted a new teacher evaluation system
• Teachers are expected to have an individualized professional development plan
• The State of Georgia is likely to restructure teacher pay for advanced degrees, limiting professional development opportunities for teachers

Our Goal:

• To develop professional learning for Georgia teachers (and eventually leaders) to provide them with an opportunity to be successful on the new evaluation system
• To develop content in a low cost, flexible format that produces observable results
• To create competency-based modules to allow an efficient, targeted form of learning
