Research Question: How do educators perceive the value of professional development?
Pattern 1
Transforming knowledge into Practice
Applicable teaching strategies
“I have used much of what was discussed in my own teaching practices and it has changed the way I view behaviors. Overall, it has been the most switching to my own teaching and beneficial. “ Fabian
“more valuable because I needed to know it and I actually ended up using it.” Moser
Direct relationship to content taught
“I think it would be helpful if the format was in person with our grade level teams at our home building” Fabian
“When it was actually content based and we walked through the curriculum and I was able to actually ask questions on how to do things that was way better.“ Moser

Student-centered
“helping all students feel like they have a purpose. Most of my students go home to challenging homes, and I want to make a difference in each of their lives. I want all students to be able to reach their dreams.” Anfinson
I strive to build relationships with students as it makes them excited to go to school. I still have many of my students visit me year after year and I know that I have made a difference in their lives. “ Fabian
“helping students that have a hard time. When you see that lightbulb go off. I really like helping those students that struggle and getting them to catch up.” Moser
Pattern 2
Irrelevance for Diverse Needs of Teachers
Little to no self-agency or choice in PD
“I wish more were something more beneficial to me.” Moser
“I never know what I am walking into” Fabian
“I wish my district listened to teachers more when planning PD because a lot of the time, the PD topic is not applicable to me.” Anfinson
Not enough Connection to subject area or specialty
“several that I have felt have been less than applicable to my teaching.” Anfinson
“ it’s too generic. And then it doesn’t really apply.” Moser

Redundant Information Presented
“I gained no new information” Fabian
“PD just repeated what we learned from college” Fabian
“I already knew the correct mathematics teaching practices. I felt as though it was a waste of time and remembered leaving the PD and so did other teachers.” Fabian
