5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for Staff Developers, February 26, 2000

By	Karen (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evaluating Professional Development (1-Off) (Hardcover)

Dr. Guskey gives us clear, concise research on a topic that has long been neglected-professional development practices that work. This book offers clear direction to practitioners who want to increase the effectiveness of professional development and improve student learning. Should be required reading for everyone involved in changing what educators do by changing what they know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on professional development evaluation!, March 6, 2008

By	Hannah Worth Ivey (Wilmington, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The greatest! If you are in need of "how to" build a strong professional devlopment program and then the how and why to evaluate! I bought two, one to keep, and one to give away to all the folks I was trying to convince as to "how to".

1.0 out of 5 stars Hegelian Dialectic Process, May 22, 2002

By A Customer

This book is an extension of the dialectic conscious process applied to staff 'developement'. A diverse group of people dialoging to conscious, over a social issue in a facilitated meeting to a predetermined outcome. This Socialist process is dominating current educational practices. Use extreem caution.
