Question

In conducting classroom observations, a high school principal notes that most of his teachers rely heavily on lecture as a method of instruction. After consulting with the district's administration, including the professional development coordinator, the principal secures funding for a two-day workshop on cooperative learning. The workshop takes place, and all the teachers are enthusiastic about it. In the next cycle of faculty observations three months after the professional development program, the principal sees the same reliance on lecture as previously noted.
