Author: Ann Koufman-Frederick Title: Program Coordinator Role: State admin/coordinator Location: Boston, MA Date: 10-19-99 How can we rethink the time issue and how can we use our time better to collaborate on understanding what students are learning and not learning? Not having the time to talk and think together about teaching and learning is the biggest barrior to providing effective professional development. When we learn how to utilize our networks better and when we reconfigure a teacher's day so that they have time built-in to meet with each other about student learning, we will begin to see more teachers designing learning environments, activities and assessements which fit their particular students better.
