National Issue Forum: "From Planning to Action: Effectively Using Your Professional Development Resources"
The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality hosted an invitational issue forum for the regional comprehensive centers and state education agencies in Arlington, Virginia, March 13–14, 2008. The forum directly followed, and partially overlapped, the U.S. Department of Education’s ESEA Title II Conference. The sessions focused on such topics as professional development for Gen Y teachers for special student populations, professional development standards, and putting professional development research and policy into action.
