As of today there are 16 completed HRD Teacher Podcasts (from taping to final edit), 10 additional Teacher podcasts in progress, and 8 teachers scheduled for taping for January (this DOES NOT include any completed or in progress material for Administrators.)With the increase in podcast demand (at least when it comes to taping) I must remain focused on my AR question and Logic Model. Content selection of podcasts during the first half of the year was open to most requests or just by chance. I have not been prescriptive of what was being taped; my only goal was to provide effective teaching content.
For the second half of the year I plan to ask the teachers highlighted if they would like to be interviewed for a supplemental podcast. This interview would almost “sound like” a DVD commentary. He/she can address the areas of planning, delivery, follow-up, and evaluation as related to the featured lesson.
The logic model has been shared with the NESS Program facilitators and members of the district cNet team. It has been suggested that the Logic Model include a coaching plan that addresses what support is provided to move from the Theory of Change to the Intended Results (Accomplished).
Additionally, I have started to explore creating audio podcasts as a way to share timely, relevant information. With the content already developed, the NESS/Induction e-letters just might make the World Wide Web!

Have you included the catalog of teacher development podcasts in your "PD Program"? Remember that a program is more than a series of events - a program includes the support structures and resources available to ensure behavior change and ultimately - impact on student achievement.
