Learning - how PD influences student success
The "Model of Teacher Change" proposes that change occurs in the following order: that change occurs in the following order: (1) professional development, (2) change in classroom practices, (3) change in student learning, (4) change in teachers' attitudes and beliefs. The model says that significant changes in teachers' attitudes and beliefs occur primarily after they gain evidence of improvements in student learning. These improvements typically result from changes teachers have made in their classroom practices. Teachers believe it works because they have seen it work, and that experience shapes their attitudes and beliefs. Substantial evidence in support of this model is provided along with specific implications for staff development planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Everybody - check this wonderful site out. Although it's about teaching maths to adults, it challenges our whole approach to teaching across all disciplines. I found this most inspiring - some really good ideas - such as strategies to engage learning, getting useful feedback from you students and so on.

Have just attended the 2008 edna groups workshop - rather overwhelming but fascinating nonetheless. Apparently, we're no longer talking about web 2.0 but web.3 - which will truly change the way we learn and education online, according to Laurel Papworth who gave the keynote address.
