Title: Professional Development to Support Successful Curriculum Implementation
Abstract: Professional development around advanced curriculum as described in this text must also include an emphasis on the particular learning needs of advanced learners and how the curriculum responds to those needs, as well as demonstrating, in many cases, how teachers may also build differentiation of the curriculum for a wider range of learners in their classrooms. Research on the effectiveness of professional development has long been somewhat limited by the difficulty of measuring direct connections between teachers' professional learning and such outcomes as increased student engagement or achievement. Learning Forward's Standards for Professional Learning emphasize the importance of considering what people know about learning when designing professional development activities. Planners of professional development initiatives must assemble a repertoire of approaches to support teachers' sustained professional learning over time. Planning, implementing, and evaluating professional development around content-based curriculum requires thorough attention to setting goals, gathering data, and assessing outcomes to determine the degree to which goals have been met.
