SEDL and NSDC's groundbreaking work in developing standards for staff development has now been joined by an equally important book that spells out exactly how those standards would look if they were being implemented by school districts.
An Innovation Configuration map is a device that identifies and describes the major components of a new practice - in this case, the standards - and details how it would be used in practice.
The ICs in Moving NSDC's Staff Development Standards into Practice will help answer such questions as:
- What do teachers in high-performing learning communities do?
- As members of learning communities, what do school board members do?
- What actions do principals take to demonstrate commitment to collaboration?
- What are superintendents committed to data-driven decision making doing?
- How do central office staff members assist schools with the design and delivery of professional development?
