Creating Effective Teacher Professional Development in Tough Economic Times   This presentation is no longer available.   Teaching experts don't necessarily see the current financial crunch in schools as all bad when it comes to teacher professional development. Many believe it could bring focus and innovative thinking to practices that are too often fragmented and hidebound by convention.  This webinar will look at how schools and districts can rethink staff development programs in order both to control costs and improve effectiveness. Tune in at 4 p.m. Eastern time on March 26 for ways to better monitor and target spending, improve the strategic focus of offerings, and utilize new, often low-cost ideas and resources.   Test Your System   Help   Download Real Player   Download Windows Media Player
