Who's Developing Whom?
Why don't schools routinely tap their best teachers to organize and deliver custom-tailored professional development to their peers?
Interesting question.
It seems like a no-brainer, actually. It's standard operating procedure for most professions--the master litigator advising and modeling for researchers just out of law school, the CPA counseling junior partners about weathering tax season--or bright newbies offering training on technical tools veteran haven't yet utilized.
There was a mini-conversation at Twitter over this question:
@BreaktheCurve (Craig Jerald): Never been able to figure out why teachers don't revolt & protest against time-wasting PD.
