Identifying Forms, Programs, and Mechanisms of Professional Development
The podcast introduces a powerful tool from the Education Endowment Foundation called effective professional development, which divides professional development into three categories: forms, programs, and mechanisms. Forms refer to the type of professional development, such as workshops or instructional coaching. Programs are the specific interpretations of these forms.
