Learning along the Way: Professional Development by and for Teachers

Sweeney, an adjunct professor at the University of Denver, tells the story of how the inner-city public school where she was a teacher and literacy coach used learner-centered professional development to achieve outstanding gains in teacher knowledge and effectiveness. She gives examples of how a school can move away from a one-size-fits-all professional development model to create an authentic learning environment that meets the needs of individual teachers. The book will be of interest to teachers and administrators. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
