When will the professional development for K-12 recipients begin and end?
The self-assessment, mentoring and action research planning will start in June 2008, and the professional development activities will begin in September 2008 and end in April of 2009. Over the course of the 9 months of professional development, there will be two 3-month periods during which participants are immersed in the professional development of their choice, whether that be a facilitated 6- or 8-week online course, a self-paced CD for implementing some lessons in their classes, a book group that is reading and applying the same materials in their class and working with a mentor to sharpen that application, or other PD opportunity.
