"This book will establish the need for rethinking professional development in schools/districts shifting from traditional instruction to blended learning. It limits the scope of the conversation about professional development to three elements: targeted training, 1:1 coaching, and participation in a personal learning community with non-evaluative peer feedback. This book helps school leaders think about and articulate a long-term professional development plan and emphasizes the importance of creating a "coaching culture" where experimentation and failure are celebrated, which is particularly important when it comes to using technology. The bulk of the book will be dedicated to the blended learning coaching cycle Catlin suggests coaches use when working with teachers. Conversation & Goal Setting Initial observation & Debrief Co-lesson Planning Real-time Coaching Co-teaching Document, Reflect & Revisit Goals Additionally, there will be a section on coaching a larger group on blended learning models using the models themselves and a section on virtual coaching using video combined with online conversations. Finally, the book will introduce a plan for gradually releasing the ownership of professional learning over to the teachers in the form of personal learning communities (PLCs) and non-evaluative peer coaching" --.
