Today I presented a paper I wrote about how design principles informed the work I did for my dissertation–a responsive professional development program that ended up having to respond to COVID-19 school closures. The result was an unexpected stress test for the design principles.

The figure below outlines the theoretical structure of the program, with design principles as the foundation, a professional model based on “teachers as designers,” and a specific program designed to explore these ideas.
