Professional Development Blog Year in Review

The most popular post of the year was a reflection on a summer conference about instructional practice, The “Big 4” of High-Impact Instruction from Ben Rubey. This post shared Ben’s big ideas from the conference and his impression that content planning and formative assessment were the two most important strategies leading to effective instruction.

Many of our staff contributed to our collective learning in 2014. We are thankful for their leadership, courage, and willingness to share their reflections. We look forward to our shared learning next year. The ten most widely read articles from the past year are listed below for review.
