Rogue Leader: Make the Rules, Inspire Others, and Take Control of Your Own Professional Development Destiny

It’s Time to Take Your PD ROGUE!

Known and dreaded by most educators, professional development is often viewed as one more item to tick off the list of obligations that’s not necessarily useful or meaningful to teachers. But it doesn’t have to be that way! As Czyz argues, pursuing learning and professional development is the single most important action we can take to hone our craft as educators. In Rogue Leader, Czyz offers the READI method (relevance, embeddedness, alignment, design, and impact) to assess and improve PD programs. He also offers smart principles and practical advice to jumpstart the practice of professional learning at your institution, building on the ideas introduced in his revolutionary Four O'Clock Faculty. Prepare to go ROGUE!
