Talk:Designing Professional Development/HighTechHigh

This page is being created as part of a project for a course at Lehigh University, called Planning for Implementing Technology at the School or District Level. The assignment: a case study on best practices in professional development.

Laura McBain, Director of Policy and Research at High Tech High, kindly agreed to be interviewed and provided a great deal of information about HTH and their Adult Education/Staff Development process. The interview was conducted a month prior to the writing of this page. Any information that is inaccurate or false is strictly the fault of the author and not reflective of Ms. McBain's input.

One of the most interesting aspects of HTH is their focus on adult education. The atmosphere at HTH is clearly one in which the teachers are as engaged in learning as the students. This can be clearly witnessed in the UnBoxed journal articles, which document many of the class projects undertaken by teachers and offer interesting insight into the process and outcomes.

HTH is clearly an exciting place to work; with staff actively engaged in the learning environment that has been and continues to be created.
