Dear FASD Conference Participants:
On behalf of the over 12,000 members of the National Staff Development

Council and the Council’s Trustees and staff, I extend NSDC's greetings
and best wishes for another outstanding FASD conference.
I commend FASD for its more than 30 years of leadership in professional

learning in Florida. Without a doubt, FASD plays a significant role in help-
ing NSDC achieve its purpose: Every educator engages in effective profes-
sional learning every day so every student achieves. FASD has long led
the charge that professional learning results in improvements in student
learning. The recent report from the Florida DOE provides powerful evi-
dence of this assertion.
It is my hope that you will use this conference and your membership in
FASD to assist you with your efforts to advance NSDC’s purpose. Please
take advantage of the many opportunities for building awareness of new
findings, practicing new skills, and considering how you will apply new
learning to your daily work.
Thank you for your support of FASD and for your commitment to high levels
of performance for your students and colleagues. Congratulations to the
conveners of this conference. Have a powerful learning experience!
Sincerely
Stephanie Hirsh
Executive Director
National Staff Development Council

FASD President Letter

Concurrent Sessions
What are Concurrent Sessions? Concurrent sessions consist of 1-2 hour sessions designed
to provide updated information, resources, best practices, or support regarding the latest De-
partment of Education legislation, current state/national initiatives, Protocol standards, or
priority needs of staff developers at the district, school, and faculty levels. Participants
choose from a menu of selected topics during the concurrent session times. Many sessions
will be repeated. Check the Program Agenda to verify which sessions will be presented more
than once.
We design the concurrent sessions to meet not only the needs of different role-alike groups
but also address different district sizes as well.
Which ones should I attend? Choose the sessions that best meet your needs. If you come
with a team of colleagues, divide up, and attend different sessions. Come back and share all
of your collected ideas and information with one another and with your district. Many ses-
sions are repeated. Many of the session materials will be posted on the FASD website fol-
lowing the conference, and you are welcome to email the presenters for more information.
What are the Focus Strands? Through our data-driven research, the FASDLC Planning
Committee and FASD Board introduced our two-year theme 2008-2010 as Leadership for
Learning. We wanted to create learning venues that addressed important and challenging needs
of our stakeholders through consistent and continuous learning initiatives over a two-year pe-
riod, threading specific learning topics through FASD Spring Forums and FASD Leadership
Conferences. Look for the following topic strands within the descriptions of the concurrent
sessions. Specific learning strands will focus on the following:
Learning State-of-the Art Delivery Systems,

Learning to Support Quality Teacher and School Leadership, and
Learning to Support New Teachers.

Technology Tools to Monitor PD Needs

Location: Chart
Time: 1:00-2:30
Explore the development of a technology-driven system that empowers schools to enhance instruction by identify-
ing PD needs and customizing teacher support. Miami-Dade Public Schools recently developed several tools that identify
targeted PD needs and monitoring support. The Professional Development through Data-based Decisions (PD3) tool allows
administrators to assess, classroom-by-classroom, PD needs in core academic areas and efficiently deploy PD resources as
needed. The PD Support Services log, in turn, monitors the level and effectiveness of PD support by collecting data on re-
cording areas targeted and frequency of support delivered, while highlighting school-wide patterns for PD needs and services.

learning of all stakeholders. Skills, attitudes, and habits of mind must continually change to meet the demands of our evolving
roles as educators. Induction helps to ensure that we are able to fulfill these roles throughout the change process. Current
systems, procedures, and processes that develop teachers, mentors, and teacher leaders will be shared with the participants.

Alternative Certification Focus

Time: 9:15-11:15
Florida, with its numerous routes to obtaining a standard teaching certificate, has been a national leader in develop-
ing and offering competency-based alternative routes for the preparation of teachers for its classrooms. On an annual ba-
sis, the Florida Department of Education surveys all completers of teacher preparation programs in Florida, (including
those teachers who have completed alternative routes), their school principals, and peer mentors in order to examine the
level of preparedness of new teachers to meet the challenges of today’s classrooms. This presentation will focus on the
results of these surveys and a brief examination of other studies being conducted in Florida.
Presenter:
Eileen McDaniel, Senior Educational Program Director, Florida Department of Education, Eileen.McDaniel@fldoe.org
Council for Educational Change - Coaching and Mentoring

Location: Chart
Time: 9:15-11:15
The Teachers and Teaching Initiative (TTI), established by the Council for Educational Change and funded by the
Wachovia Foundation, focuses on the development, support, and retention of new-to-service teachers. Since its inception,
the program has featured a site-based collaborative mentoring component in which veteran teacher-leaders nurture and
support a new generation of educators through personal support, demonstration of effective teaching strategies, feedback
for mentees on their teaching, guidance on classroom management, and access to cutting-edge, research-based online learn-
ing. The result of the Council’s effort is a 98% percent retention rate of new-to-service teachers - higher than state and
national averages.

Leadership For Learning
FASD Has a Two-Year Theme

2008 – 2010
The FASDLC Planning Committee and the Board spent a weekend together this past Fall 2007
collecting and analyzing data to determine priority professional development needs for Florida educators
who are dedicated to improving learning for ALL. Our goal was to build a two-year theme that focused
on critical areas that aligned to NSDC priority goals, Florida Department of Education goals, and FASD’s
Mission and Vision. Our second goal was to scaffold these learning experiences so professionals could
continue to build on prior knowledge in specific areas that affected student achievement in the state of
Florida.
One of the data pieces we used to determine our two-year theme and strands was last year’s
FASDLC 2007 member evaluations. We looked for key initiatives to support you personally in your pro-
fession and in your work place. Through our data-driven research, we are excited to introduce our theme
for the 2008-2010 and our three priority strands.
Theme: Leadership for Learning

Strands:
Learning State-of-the-Art Delivery Methods and Follow-Up
Learning to Support Quality Teacher and School Leadership, and
Learning to Support New Teachers.
