Excellent staff development ideas were abundant among last year's contest entries. They also consistently showed what teachers need and want and what works. The basic ingredients of an effective program seem to be:

Find out what teachers need to know.

Give teachers the equipment and support to learn.

Provide convenient scheduling for sessions, perhaps learning in mini-sessions, learning before and after school, summer camp sessions, on-going seminars, live videofeed to classrooms, etc.

Use online lessons, directions and examples to supplement instruction so that teachers can learn and practice at their convenience.

Use email for keeping in touch during and after the learning.

Individualize as much as possible.

Make the learning applicable to the equipment teachers have in their classroom, and make sure their equipment works.

Provide concrete examples teachers can use or modify to fit their classroom situation.

Provide hands-on experiences. Have teachers create lessons, presentations or materials they can use right away.

Showcase excellent teaching techniques related to technologies. Honor teachers by sharing their ideas and work with other teachers.

Help teachers understand where they can get help not only from school personnel but also from online communities.

Schedule on-going staff development opportunities. Let teachers know learning must continue.

Most importantly, have teachers teach teachers.
