toImplementing the change with fidelity.
Effective planning for professional

Learning Designs
Research has shown that it takes multiple professional learning designs to build teachers’ knowledge base, develop new skills, and create the dispositions teachers need to be able to implement new content standards.
No SINGLE method of professional development will help all teachers develop the knowledge and skills they need to reach every student.
Learning
Designs Each phase of this process requires different designs.
What Can Learning Designs Do?
• Build educators’ knowledge base about content and/or practice.
• Develop educators’ instructional, facilitative, and questioning.
• Support teachers as they use their new skills in the classroom.
Innovation Configurations
ICs
• What are the five functions of IC maps?• What do we do with IC Maps?• What are the major elements of an IC
map?

What Are They and Why Use Them?
Five FunctionsA clear and richly descriptive vision of what the standards look like in action (in schools, districts, state departments, etc.,—wherever professional learning occurs) in order to support the continuous learning of educators

Five FunctionsA guide to design professional learning that explains not only what the standards look like in operation, but also how to implement them2
