Distinguishing Models of Professional Development: The Case of an Adaptive Model's Impact on Teachers' Knowledge, Instruction, and Student Achievement
Karen Koellner; Jennifer Jacobs
Journal of Teacher Education Vol. 66, No. 1 (2015) pp. 51–67
We posit that professional development (PD) models fall on a continuum from highly adaptive to highly specified, and that these constructs provide a productive way to characterize and distinguish among models. The study reported here examines the...
