Initial Refection:
My agenda will utilize a late start meeting since my district implements them on a semi-monthly
basis. Many frustrations exist within in-house professional development opportunities. First, there is not
enough time to get into the depth necessary for faculty members to fully grasp a new concept. Once the
instructor of the professional development session has given the audience enough background on the
topic, there is rarely any time for content areas to implement and brain storm how a new concept can
be utilized in the classroom. Another challenge is fighting the status quo. Many educators are set in
there ways, especially the more experienced teachers that might be a little set in there ways. Newer,
younger teachers might be more open to new ideas but it is not always the case. Lastly, one of the
biggest hurdle is to get content areas to figure out how to implement new concepts in their classroom.
