Welcome to the Professional Development Activity Log (PDAL)
Do you want to know to what extent the quality of the professional development supported by your district or program is consistent with research-based definitions of quality?
Do you want to determine what effects teachers’ professional development experiences have on instructional practices and content taught in math and science classes?
Do you need help with tracking teachers’ professional development data?
Do you want to systematically identify teachers’ professional development needs?
Do you want to use data on teachers’ professional development to improve their instruction?
The PDAL is a web-based, self-administered, longitudinal data collection tool for teachers to record their professional development experiences in detail with the assistance of a series of structured prompts. Teachers log on to their password-protected web account and fill out their PDAL at regular intervals.
