MISTEC 2018: Music in Schools and Teacher Education Commission Seminar

Discussion Questions 
1. For the teachers in the research, the translation from professional learning (PL) experience was complex. The teachers chose to implement aspects of the PL that aligned with their values, how might this restrict the aims of a PL experience?

2. The PL experiences encountered by the teachers resonated with their prior experiences as learners and their existing teaching approach. As music educators, is there an approach that resonates with you? Was it similar or different to what you experienced as a learner?

3. How effective are PL models/experiences and how do we know? Most evaluation is done via a survey at the end of a workshop rather than after a period of time. How can we evaluate the effectiveness of PL?
