"Just because you give teachers technical training on how to use the gadget, does not mean they are going to use it. Just because you ask the STEM teachers to coach all of the other teachers on STEM does not mean they are going to do it. What does work - job-embedded professional development - where a dedicated coach with classroom experience spends time with the teacher in their classroom planning, practicing, and reflecting on the use of a new STEM gadget. This is what we do at WhyMaker." - Liz Gallo. How does this resonate with your school?

According to our CEO Liz Gallo, the best PD comes from having at least 6 touch-points throughout the school year. 🎙️ Listen to the full conversation on Steve Barkley's Ponders Out Loud podcast: https://lnkd.in/giU8cZNS
