“Spray & Pray,” “Sit & Get,” and “Drive-by”: these are some names commonly used by educators to describe professional development lasting less than forty hours. Generally, a school system will bring in a BIG NAME who has the “wow” factor and has good ideas but knows little-to-nothing about the climate in which he or she is speaking. Following the big performance, teachers have the “finally, we’re done” experience and meander back to their classrooms, where little--if anything--changes. In short, the high costs of the programs have little to no impact on developing teaching and learning.
