Clinical Field Experience A: Planning for Professional Development

Understanding how professional development capacity builds an effective tool box for individuals to use is important when creating professional development that is relevant and meaningful.

Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Interview an administrator within your school or district regarding their current area of focus for professional development (i.e., best practices, technology incorporation, cross-curricular instruction, collaboration, data analysis, STEM incorporation, and social-emotional learning).

Address the following questions in your interview. Add any additional follow-up questions that are relevant to the discussion.

-When developing your current professional development plan, what are the goals and how did you identify those goals?
-What are two examples of job-embedded professional development that you have implemented? Explain the effectiveness of those professional development sessions based on personal reflection or peer/administrator feedback.
-What are the areas of need in your school or district that may require sustained professional learning? What is the source of this data that informed your choice (e.g., parent feedback, end of year survey)
-What are the strategies you use to build professional development capacity and job-embedded professional development into your school or district to support the areas of need?

Following your field experience, write a 250-500 word reflection, summarize the interview and provide an explanation of how you will apply what you discussed the findings to your future professional practice.
