Heller, Joan I.; Daehler, Kirsten R.; Shinohara, Mayumi – Journal of Staff Development, 2003
An evaluation mosaic brings together different methods and forms to present an overall picture of the impact this professional learning experience had on teachers' practices and on student achievement. Using this framework, professional developers were able to determine whether they were getting the results they wanted--and they did.
