As a follow up to the 3/21/17 discussion on Evidence-Informed PD, the EI-EC PD CoP developed some additional tools/resources around this topic which are as follows:

• Dunst - Key Features of Evidence-Informed PD (At-A-Glance) .pdf  
• A short video that summarizes what was shared as we consider what evidence-informed PD might look like in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSnREyBWEEc
• Implementing Evidence-Informed PD - EI-EC PD CoP Activity - FINAL 5.8.17.pdf : An activity created in an effort to bring attention and awareness to the importance of implementing evidence-based professional development in early intervention and early childhood special education. Professionals who may benefit from this activity include (but are not limited to) administrators, training and technical assistance providers, educators, supervisors, coaches, mentors, and any other individuals who are responsible for developing, coordinating, delivering or supporting initial and ongoing professional development activities.
