PD in the Real World
I just opened the latest issue Journal of College Science Teaching, an NSTA publication, from the same people that bring you Science Teacher, Science Scope and Science and Children. Ann Cutler, JCST Editor wrote an editorial titled, “Why I want to slug my neighbor!” She has this feeling every summer when her neighbor greets her with “So, are you enjoying your summer off?”
What NISE teachers are doing this summer is maybe a bit outside the box of summer professional development, but I imagine that most of you empathize with Ann, because, if it wasn’t this, then it would be something else. The career of a teacher is one of continual learning and reflection. Just as I want my physician to be updating his skills by going back to school, I want the teacher of my children to be doing the same. “Learning is what adults will do for a living in the 21st Century!”
