Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
Professional development offers teachers the training for new instructional practices that support student learning. To assist school leaders implementing professional development programs, the National Staff Development Council’s Standards for Staff Development serves as a valuable guide. This study was designed to determine the number of Ohio public schools aligned with these standards using a questionnaire, alignment schema, and scoring rubric designed by the researcher. Of the 58 Ohio public schools that participated in this study, 20 were considered aligned with the National Staff Development Council’s standards. Of the schools not aligned with these standards, the family involvement standard was typically not implemented. The major challenges experienced by school leaders when implementing professional development opportunities were resources and the change process.
