[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe it or not, staff actually like and benefit from professional development opportunities.[/quote]

I mostly disagree with this.  Most PD that I have had to sit through typically just makes more work for teachers not less (along with taking out prep time).  I hate it when they give us homework or independent assignments to complete either by ourselves or with PLCs.

It is usually aligned with the school goals for that year but often just feels like checklist items pushed by admin/central office that don’t reflect what staff actually want/need.

The anti bias training in particular is always vague and doesn’t provide and any targeted interventions advice or feedback.  So, there is no obvious goal or strategy that is useful to staff.[/quote]

That’s not real professional development. Go contact NEA, and you’ll find many programs potentially available that are actually useful [/quote]

The conversation was not about all PD. Just the PD from MCPS that taxpayers fund. [/quote]
