Explain how you incorporated Marzanos nine instructional strategies into the professional development. You do not have to address all nine strategies.
Differentiated, Learner-Centered Professional Development
The concepts of standards, differentiation and learner-centeredness are key to the development of teachers. Research tells us professional development can no longer be a one-size-fits-all approach. In this modules application assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of standards, differentiation, and learner-centered principles as you plan a standards-based, learner-centered professional development session for new teachers based on the data you collected in the needs assessment (Module 3 Application).
You have a lot of ideas to incorporate in this professional development, so before starting, review all the resources you have available. Look back over the presentations in Modules 1-4 and the learning objects pages. The learning objects pages contain information on learner-centered principles and links to differentiated instruction and professional development websites, including the Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning.
Also refer back to your Module 3 discussion about Marzanos nine instructional strategies and the link on the learning objects page. How can you use these strategies as you plan the activities for your professional development? Is the performance objective you composed in the discussion still applicable? Does it need to be revised to reflect your current learning and the needs of the new teachers you surveyed?
You will submit two files for this assignment: 1) a slide presentation, and 2) a paper.
For the paper and presentation, use APA format for in-text citations and for the references.
Part 1: Slide Presentation
