The director of NSDC�s Results-Based Staff Development for the Middle Grades Initiative describes the criteria used to examine hundreds of staff development programs that were submitted for consideration by this program. She explains why so few of them reach the �summit� of staff development, which she defines as providing evidence of a positive impact on student learning.
