VIII. Next Steps

The Professional Development Work Group recommends that SETDA take these next steps:

• Maintain and update the HPR*TEC tools (TrackStars and Rubrics);
  
  
• Encourage states and others to add to the matrix of funding sources begun by the Work Group;
  
  
• Encourage states and others to create additional case studies using the template developed by the Work Group. The template might be posted online in a format that allows others to contribute. This might provide the content for a searchable database of case studies which could be added to SETDA Connects; and
  
  
• Recommend that the model for the Professional Development Process and Communication Guide be adapted by state educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) to reflect the unique needs of each, thereby improving the professional development process within and between organizations.
