Resources for Site-based Study
Purpose
To help schools and districts fully implement Developmental Designs approach, we provide resources designed for use when leading site-based professional development.
Process
Some resources for site-based professional development:
- Books: practical support for implementing Developmental Designs practices
- Developmental Designs advisory Professional Development Guide for studying and implementing meeting formats from The Advisory Book
- Developmental Designs Circle of Power and Respect Advisory Meeting DVD showing three meetings in action; the first in a series of recordings presenting practices in action
- School Development Assessment Program: a data-gathering formative-assessment approach to full implementation of Developmental Designs practices
- Free online resources in Educator Help, geared to the middle level classroom: greetings, games, sharing ideas, acknowledgments, articles, and tools for practical implementation support
With these resources, educators can extend their implementation of the practices by independent reading, collaborations and studies with colleagues, self-assessments, and data-gathering.
