“Evaluating the impact of Professional Development is
more complex than evaluating the effectiveness of a new drug
or medical treatment. There are more intervening steps.”

What is PD3 ?
A professional development planning tool and database that will:
Improve professional development decisions by looking at strategies teachers are using in mathematics, science and reading
Increase the relevance of professional development
Enhance the role of school-based and district-level instructional teams
Provide a vehicle to track, over time, the impact of professional development on classroom practice
55
What is PD3 ?
Classroom visit data collection software used on a handheld computer (Palm, Windows Mobile)
An online database that enables users to generate up-to-date reports based on aggregated classroom visit data
PD3 online reports that guide a school’s or district’s professional development decisions for teachers within grade levels or subject areas
What is PD3 ?
As a tool for a Professional Development Specialist or an Instructional Leader or District Professional Development Coordinator ….
Source of leading data Springboard for relevant conversations Improve PD decisions by looking at classroom
practice
Tracks the impact of PD

Validity of PD3 data is tied to the quality and quantity of the classroom visits.
Using Data to Inform Decisions
To strengthen validity: Visit wide variety of classrooms Conduct multiple visits throughout the year,
varying times Conduct visits at the beginning, middle, and
end of class period Frequent visits to see all key areas being
taught OR visit frequently during a specific instructional area (comprehension)

Looking at the Learning Environment
“The Forest”
The PD3 tool takes all of the intricate details that we may notice each time we visit a classroom and weaves them together. Presenting data with the big picture in mind. One snapshot alone, like a puzzle piece can not possible tell the entire story.
