Webinar Recording: Revealing Our Secrets: Professional Learning that Makes an Impact

What does your ideal professional learning experience look like?

Imagine this: professional learning that honors us as professionals, pushes our thinking, and models what we are aiming to do with learners.

There are key principles to look for when evaluating professional learning experiences and (spoiler alert!) they are quite similar to the learning experiences we want for young learners, too. Professional learning done right is learner-centered—personalized, authentic, competency-based, and inclusive & equitable. It yields new learning that is aligned to personalized goals and can be applied in an authentic context. And it can be accessible in many formats based on learner preferences and needs.

In this webinar participants will:

  • Uncover the principles behind impactful, learner-centered professional learning
  • Further articulate a vision for professional learning in their school or district
  • Get an overview of a variety of professional learning opportunities available to school and district leaders and educators for the 2023-24 school year.

As a result, next time you are addressing a goal or need with professional learning support you’ll know what to look for and where to find it.
