2015 Research Poster
The digital poster was created as a visual tool for a research paper written about the wicked problem of prescribed professional development for teachers. The wicked problem of professional development for teachers involves numerous stakeholders with varied world views, professional responsibilities and backgrounds (Weber & Khademian, 2008). Teachers need the programs offered to be more experiential and hands-on, relevant to their immediate needs, empowering them to develop their knowledge and skills actively, beyond the constraints of current reforms, in a variety of learning environments, both individually and collaboratively (Carlson & Gadio, 2002). Online teacher PD was one suggestion proposed to address this problem.
