| Abstract: |
The article focuses on improving the effectiveness of teacher professional development (PD) by contrasting ineffective school-based PD with the more engaging, experience-driven model used in athletic coaching clinics. Topics include the importance of facilitator credibility and real teaching experience and the use of live demonstrations and modeling to make learning practical and immediately applicable in classrooms. |
