Lecture: Scaling-up professional development: Chances and challenges

Master data
Title: Scaling-up professional development: Chances and challenges
Description:

The keynote shows that scaling-up professional development as larger regional or even nation-wide initiatives needs taking into account the learning of individuals, schools, teacher education institutions, educational administration and policy and the whole educational system itself. Asking some questions related to the scaling-up of professional development (why, how, how long, with whom), a naïve, a technical and a reflective rationality approach are compared. Based on international experiences and research, the keynote elaborates crucial conducive and hindering factors for sustainable scaling-up of professional development. Finally, some of these factors are discussed related to the Austrian PFL- and IMST-programme (focusing mainly on mathematics, science and language education) which combine nation-wide scaling-up professional development with other measures like the establishment of competence centres and networks.
