This short article identifies common pitfalls in professional development (PD) around blended learning and suggests concrete steps to improve PD experiences for teachers. Suggestions focus on designing PD around a pedagogical approach that applies to all teachers and only introducing a new technology tool to support that approach; and utilizing teachers to plan, deliver, and further PD opportunities for their colleagues.
This article may help school and district leaders and PD providers plan more effective PD and improve the quality of classroom instruction using education technology.
