Training for teachers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I spent yesterday morning at a math training session for about 350 Atlanta teachers and administrators. They learned better ways to teach kids about math - important skills, especially when you consider the state’s new standards in the subject.
Teachers said they will meet during the school year to plan lessons together and talk about ways to improve the way they deliver information.
School districts can easily spend millions of dollars on professional development. But some programs work better than others.
Teachers, what kind of training do you want? How often do the sessions match what you need?
Parents, what training do you think teachers need?
