NDTAC’s legislative mandates are to develop a uniform evaluation model for State education agency (SEA) Title I, Part D, Subpart 1, programs; to provide technical assistance to States in order to increase their capacity for data collection and their ability to use those data to improve educational programming for youth who are neglected or delinquent; and to serve as a facilitator among different organizations, agencies, and interest groups that work with youth in neglect or delinquent facilities. For additional information on NDTAC, visit the Center’s Web site at [http://www.neglected-delinquent.org/](http://www.neglected-delinquent.org/).  \nSuggested Citation:  \nKeleher, J. (2017).

The briefs will highlight key considerations for planning, designing, and delivering professional development for individuals working in Part D and correctional education programs. The goal of the briefs is to raise awareness and understanding of how professional development can enhance the quality of Part D services, build capacity for staff charged with addressing the needs of youth who find themselves in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and improve outcomes for this population of youth.  \nIn this, our first professional development brief, we set forth the overarching considerations that should be kept in mind when conceptualizing professional development for educators working with neglected or delinquent youth (N or D). The brief begins by defining professional development and demonstrating why it is a critical support for educators and practitioners working in juvenile correctional settings. Next, we present the unique characteristics of the N or D population and highlight how having additional professional development could enable juvenile justice center staff to better understand and respond to the population’s needs. The brief concludes with a summary of ideas for professional development suggested by coordinators. This section also includes a description of some practices currently being implemented in the field.  \nSubsequent briefs will explore other areas for professional development, including but not limited to the administration and management of Federal programs, accountability and student achievement, transition planning, interagency coordination, and information sharing. As official guidance on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) becomes available, the briefs will examine the implications of the new law on professional development for Part D programs and service providers.  \nImportance of Professional Development  \nDefining Professional Development  \nProfessio","cbCaicxxlz7rdUSA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicxxlz7rdUSA","pdf",361100,14,"English","# About NDTAC\n# NDTAC Professional Development Brief\n## Importance of Professional Development\n### Defining Professional Development\n### Characteristics of effective professional development\n## Next briefs preview","[{\"question\":\"What is the mission of NDTAC in relation to youth education programs?\",\"answer\":\"NDTAC aims to improve education programming for neglected or delinquent youth by developing an evaluation model for Title I, Part D, providing technical assistance to States for data collection and use, and facilitating coordination among organizations and agencies.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the brief define professional development?\",\"answer\":\"Professional development is described as an activity or series of interactions intended to increase individuals’ knowledge and skills, improve their practice, and support professional growth.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes should effective professional development produce for educators and students?\",\"answer\":\"Effective professional development increases educators’ knowledge/skills and may change attitudes, leads participants to apply new knowledge to instruction or pedagogy, and results in improved learning outcomes for their students.\"}]","NDTAC Professional Development Brief - Professional Development | PDF",1792054668,35]
