AUSSIE Alert: Episode 2 -- A Closer Look at Professional Learning

Audio posted March 31st, 2009 by Daniel Storchan

Welcome to Episode 2 of AUSSIE Alert. Today's podcast features an esteemed group of AUSSIE consultants who came together, after listening to a riveting key note from Dr. Pedro Noguera of NYU, to discuss strategies for closing the achievement gap.

In preparation for this round table discussion all of the participants read the recent report released by the National Staff Development Council, "Professional Learning in the Learning Profession: A Status Report on Teacher Development in the United States and Abroad". During this episode, our consultants attempted to unravel some of the key findings from this report, and examined its implications on professional development in the 21st century and their individual work in schools.

 

Moderated by AUSSIE's Marketing Manager, Gina Scala, Episode 2 features: Diane Jackson, Math Consultant; Liz Irwin, Math Consultant; Diane Spina-Harris, Literarcy Consultant; Brian Green, Literacy Consultant; Maryanne Pearce, Literacy Consultant; & Bill Richardson, Literacy Consultant.

We hope you enjoy today's podcast, and please join in the discussion by leaving your comments and feedback.
