The literature presented within this ELP provided a framework to design nine Professional Learning Sessions (PLSs) intended to support teachers in their efforts to prepare students for 21st Century Learning at Garnet Valley School District (GVSD). Each PLS was designed to include the topics, structures or characteristics, and strategies suggested by the research for teaching teachers how to emphasize creating learner-centered lessons, infuse\u00a0content, learning theories and pedagogy with\u00a0knowledge\u00a0of technology (TPACK). The literature, rationale for the design, and an evaluation of the PLSs are presented. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for an evaluation of the PLSs through four instruments\u2014a district feedback form, teacher proposed lessons, periodic surveys, and teacher interviews. Guskey\u2019s Framework on the Five Levels for Evaluating Professional Development was used to analyze the collected data. Analysis suggested that participants were satisfied with the sessions and did demonstrate an acquisition of\u00a0knowledge\u00a0and the intent to create lessons and assessments using the digital tools and best practices modeled during the sessions. Participants did make subsequent changes to their instructional moves to include integrating digital tools; however, participants did not consistently create student-centered lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zack, D.
