Demonstrating Knowledge
 |
| High school teachers and students work with visiting
Egyptian teachers. |
It is not enough to know or understand something abstractly. For both
student and teacher participants, CISP is committed to demonstrating that
knowledge and understanding have consequences in action. Students are
expected to develop and present products of their work that show clear
evidence of the appreciation of their knowledge and understanding. Teachers
demonstrate that knowledge and skill acquired in staff development programs
are converted to strengthened instructional practice in their own classrooms.
Wherever possible, site leaders provide individual support and facilitation
that enables participants to incorporate new content and strategies into
sophisticated practice. Staff development experiences are connected to
exemplary practice through classroom observation and feedback -- coaching,
mentoring, colleague collaboration, etc.
