The Learning Educator: Principle-Driven Professional Development
Featuring Stephanie Hirsch, Executive Director of the National Staff Development Council
NSDC’s purpose calls for improving student learning by ensuring all educators in all schools experience high-quality professional learning every day. Consider the contribution of vision, principles, and commitment to the achievement of this goal and your own goals for professional development.
Team time was embedded, as was an optional break-out session on building PLC’s utilizing the same principles.
Participants:
• Understood the principles guiding the next decade of professional learning.
• Considered how the principles influence the practice of professional learning within their own organizations.
• Discussed ongoing application and implementation of the principles.
• Learned how to conduct a “book study” process for introducing the principles to others within their schools and districts.
