General tips:
1. Include all staff in the process and reflect this in planning.
2. Make changes to instruction, interactions, and curriculum as needed by age group. Consult curriculum frameworks for ideas. Describe what teachers will do differently or what to emphasize for a particular area. Be specific!
3. Analyze subgroup performance (three year olds, dual language learners, etc.) and plan accordingly.
4. List materials that will address the developmental domain and describe how teachers will use the materials.
5. Use a variety of staff development strategies, e.g., books, CD/DVD, journal articles, online training. Next, describe what teachers may do as a result of the professional development. Be specific.
6. Make changes to the daily schedule when needed.
