Overview
Imagine you are the curriculum leader within your school district and have recently distributed a comprehensive survey to all teachers to improve the quality and relevance of upcoming professional development sessions. The feedback indicates that teachers need training in classroom management and differentiated instruction. However, due to budget and administrative priorities, the district has decided to focus training on test preparation and data analysis. After attending the first professional development session on standardized testing, the teachers felt frustrated and disengaged since their feedback was not reflected in training topics.
