We need to provide infrastructure support for our PD and make sure it is there for teachers who implement the tech PD in their classrooms.
A stick to it, change oriented attitude also helps. New ideas don't always work the first time.

It is important that teachers don't view the PD as just one more thing they are being required to do. We have to tie it to the broader mission of student achievement and pitch it as helpful rather burdensome.
Teachers also want to learn things with enduring value and a good return on the effort invested.

Together we can implement Blended Learning.

Collaboration and trust among colleagues will be a key component of transforming progressional development for blended learning. A presenter sharing all information with the faculty will not be effective as collaboration among faculty members sharing and supporting each other in the journey.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important considerations is time for teachers to collaborate and observe each other implementing the strategies they are learning. Utilizing Blended Learning to provide professional development on Blended Learning will reinforce how it can meet the needs of all learners including the adults implementing it.

Blended learning is a process and takes time and patience for everyone.  When in a PD the quick learners need to be patient with others and wait.  The struggling learner needs to be patient with themselves and the instructor to know it takes time for the process to unfold.

School leaders need to recognize and meet the level of needs for technology skills among their teachers. Separate PD's would be beneficial for beginning teachers implementing technology. It would also be beneficial to assign a mentor teacher for those teachers. The advanced teachers also want new ideas and to forge ahead in the technology/blended learning world.

It's the number one thing we all need and yet we have so little of it in the elementary world. Overtime I feel blended learning can help with that but it takes time to teach and implement a new skill.

We need to make a shift with how we look at blended learning. Instead of providing professional development on PBG, Math, ELA, etc., we need to be showing our teachers how blended learning can support their teaching in these areas. Until we do that, blended learning is just one more isolated thing that takes time away from teaching the core. We need to incorporate BL into our professional development opportunities

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes we forget to utilize our teachers on staff to help implement new learning at our schools. Bringing in a specialist to give a PD is helpful, but when teachers have the opportunity to learn from a colleague, it is much more beneficial long term. Teachers feel comfortable when they learn from a fellow faculty member. When they try new things, they are able to ask questions, problem solve together, and implement new skills at a slower pace. I have several teachers on staff that could help blended learning move forward. I will remember this when planning for the upcoming year.

I think it is allowing teachers to share their successes and failures. No one person has the answers because the best ideas come from grand experiments.

# data[].attributes.body
When transforming site based pd you need to allow implementation time and sharing of ideas. What went right as well as what went wrong and how do you duplicate or improve.

Its important to demonstrate for teachers and involve them in professional developments that reveal ways in which blended learning can provide more student engagement, faster feedback and student autonomy.

Blended Learning PD needs to model the shift toward Blended Learning teaching. Teacher learning is not that different from student learning. Just like our students are in different places in their learning and learn in different ways, so do the teachers. By providing the PD in a Blended Learning format, we can more effectively meet those individual needs while modeling effective Blended Learning teaching.

As has already been mentioned, effective leaders recognize that any transformation requires, time, resources, and accountability. We must provide time for them to plan and collaborate on the task. They also need time and resources to implement the planned transformation. Then, they need to be held accountable and hold themselves accountable for trying the transformation and reflecting on what went well and where improvements can be made.
