Professional Development resources

Core Professional Development Sequence

For the 2023-2024 academic year, we are designing and conducting a professional development series that covers The Good Project’s core concepts. These sessions are offered live to members of our Community of Practice, with asynchronous versions of the sessions then uploaded here. Videos will be added over the course of the year as they become available.

Teaching Good Work in the Classroom

In this introduction, designed for secondary school educators but adaptable to any audience, we review the research that led to The Good Project’s tools and resources, which support young people to learn skills and strategies to flourish as future workers. In addition, the webinar invites teachers to learn how to engage students with real-world dilemmas, reflective activities, thinking routines, and guided conversations. Our view is that students who engage with our tools will develop the skills, understandings, and repertoires to effectively navigate their future work lives.

DISCUSSING TENSIONS COMMON TO DILEMMAS

This pilot professional development session was developed for the Good Project Lesson Plans (GPLP) Community of Practice and discusses common tensions found in dilemmas, drawing on work from our colleagues on the Project Zero C4 project as well as Rush Kidder's ethical paradigms.

Modeling videos

In these two videos, we talk through dilemmas using the rings of responsibility and a see-think-wonder thinking routine. You may find these videos helpful for you to structure your own discussion with your students.
