September 2008

Dear FASD Conference Participants: On behalf of the over 12,000 members of the National Staff Development Council and the Council’s Trustees and staff, I extend NSDC's greetings and best wishes for another outstanding FASD conference.

I commend FASD for its more than 30 years of leadership in professional learning in Florida. Without a doubt, FASD plays a significant role in helping NSDC achieve its purpose: Every educator engages in effective professional learning every day so every student achieves. FASD has long led the charge that professional learning results in improvements in student learning. The recent report from the Florida DOE provides powerful evidence of this assertion.

It is my hope that you will use this conference and your membership in FASD to assist you with your efforts to advance NSDC’s purpose. Please take advantage of the many opportunities for building awareness of new findings, practicing new skills, and considering how you will apply new learning to your daily work.

Thank you for your support of FASD and for your commitment to high levels of performance for your students and colleagues. Congratulations to the conveners of this conference. Have a powerful learning experience!

Sincerely

Stephanie Hirsh Executive Director National Staff Development Council

Concurrent Sessions

What are Concurrent Sessions? Concurrent sessions consist of 1-2 hour sessions designed to provide updated information, resources, best practices, or support regarding the latest Department of Education legislation, current state/national initiatives, Protocol standards, or priority needs of staff developers at the district, school, and faculty levels. Participants choose from a menu of selected topics during the concurrent session times. Many sessions will be repeated. Check the Program Agenda to verify which sessions will be presented more than once. We design the concurrent sessions to meet not only the needs of different role-alike groups but also address different district sizes as well. Which ones should I attend? Choose the sessions that best meet your needs. If you come with a team of colleagues, divide up, and attend different sessions. Come back and share all of your collected ideas and information with one another and with your district. Many sessions are repeated. Many of the session materials will be posted on the FASD website following the conference, and you are welcome to email the presenters for more information. What are the Focus Strands? Through our data-driven research, the FASDLC Planning Committee and FASD Board introduced our two-year theme 2008-2010 as Leadership for Learning. We wanted to create learning venues that addressed important and challenging needs of our stakeholders through consistent and continuous learning initiatives over a two-year period, threading specific learning topics through FASD Spring Forums and FASD Leadership Conferences. Look for the following topic strands within the descriptions of the concurrent sessions. Specific learning strands will focus on the following: Learning State-of-the Art Delivery Systems, Learning to Support Quality Teacher and School Leadership, and Learning to Support New Teachers. 2008: A Staff Development Odyssey Delivery* Support* Leadership THE FUTURE IS NOW!

Miami-Dade Public Schools recently developed several tools that identify targeted PD needs and monitoring support. The Professional Development through Data-based Decisions (PD3) tool allows administrators to assess, classroom-by-classroom, PD needs in core academic areas and efficiently deploy PD resources as needed. The PD Support Services log, in turn, monitors the level and effectiveness of PD support by collecting data on recording areas targeted and frequency of support delivered, while highlighting school-wide patterns for PD needs and services.

Underlying this system is a collaborative culture that taps and supports the learning of all stakeholders. Skills, attitudes, and habits of mind must continually change to meet the demands of our evolving roles as educators. Induction helps to ensure that we are able to fulfill these roles throughout the change process. Current systems, procedures, and processes that develop teachers, mentors, and teacher leaders will be shared with the participants.

Leadership For Learning

FASD Has a Two-Year Theme 2008 – 2010

The FASDLC Planning Committee and the Board spent a weekend together this past Fall 2007 collecting and analyzing data to determine priority professional development needs for Florida educators who are dedicated to improving learning for ALL. Our goal was to build a two-year theme that focused on critical areas that aligned to NSDC priority goals, Florida Department of Education goals, and FASD’s Mission and Vision. Our second goal was to scaffold these learning experiences so professionals could continue to build on prior knowledge in specific areas that affected student achievement in the state of Florida. One of the data pieces we used to determine our two-year theme and strands was last year’s FASDLC 2007 member evaluations. We looked for key initiatives to support you personally in your profession and in your work place. Through our data-driven research, we are excited to introduce our theme for the 2008-2010 and our three priority strands.

Theme: Leadership for Learning Strands: Learning State-of-the-Art Delivery Methods and Follow-Up Learning to Support Quality Teacher and School Leadership, and Learning to Support New Teachers.
