Hirsch, Shanna E.; Ely, Emily; Lloyd, John Wills; Isley, Deanna
School-University Partnerships, v11 n2 p84-91 Fall 2018
Educator professional development (PD) is critical for improving instruction and student achievement. However, there are few frameworks for developing and designing PD based on educators' needs. We report the findings from a case study highlighting how an elementary school and university collaborated to address teachers' needs in the area of classroom management. From our experience, we provide key recommendations and resources for school and university partners.
