Why Aren’t Dollars Following Need?

By Dr. Geoffrey H. Fletcher, Editor-at-Large

Clearly, the need for professional development is enormous—and expressed. The question is whether or not districts will find the money to fund the fulfillment of this need, especially if the funds are cut from NCLB’s Enhancing Education Through Technology program. The answer may be found in a study in the Journal of Education Finance titled Inside the Black Box: School District Spending on Professional Development in Education (www.financingpd.org). The Finance Project is trying to disseminate this and related information more broadly.Visit the organization’s Web site for more details.There is money in your own district; you just need to find it.
