Creating an In-House Program to Meet Your School’s Needs
Ben Summerton and Steve Katz are founding members of the team that created a unique but replicable professional development model that maximizes the number of teachers who can participate and benefit from ongoing professional learning in school. From 2011-2015 over 360 individual teachers participated in 96 weeks of sessions, which accounted for over 4000 total attendances. The FishBowl model has since spawned similar programs at the International School of Kuala Lumpur (The Den) and the Singapore American School (The LOFT). Come to this session to learn what worked, what didn’t work and then work with Ben and Steve to figure out how such a program might be successful given your own unique set of circumstances.

Learning Outcomes:

Learners will:

understand key components of a successful professional development program
understand the advantages of contextualized professional development using in-house talent
Collaboratively develop a professional learning resource for your own teachers
