  1. Showcase: Online Professional Development for Improved Selection, Implementation, and Evaluation of Accommodations Sheryl Lazarus and Michael Moore National Center on Educational Outcomes University of MinnesotaNannette PenceAlabama State Department of EducationStudent Assessment Office

  2. Literature Review on Successful Professional Development NCEO sought to make sure our online training was developed with careful consideration for what the literature says about effective teacher professional development.

  3. Literature Review on Successful Professional Development Findings included: • Effective teacher Professional Development must be connected to teacher’s context and practice. Case Based Instruction in the form of case studies that are written as rich narratives of real-life teacher practice, are sometimes more appealing to teachers than only content instruction.

  4. Literature Review on Successful Professional Development • Effective teacher Professional Development should provide teachers an opportunity to APPLY what they have learned.  For more, see NCEO’s Synthesis Report #84, Professional Development to Improve Accommodations Decisions -- A Review of the Literature nceo.info/OnlinePubs/Synthesis84/SynthesisReport84.pdf
