Voice, Choice & Multiple Learning Pathways: Professional Learning for the Modern Educator
Invoking backwards design principles, the team promoted a professional learning plan that honored its stakeholders. Central to this plan is promoting educator voice, providing choice in content and delivery method and offering educators multiple learning pathways to hone their craft. Specifically, when designing this two year shift to creating modern professional learning experiences, the team examined relevant research, successful professional learning models and empowered educators to work in concert with administrators and coaches to craft the school’s shared vision for professional learning. By weaving together educational technology and pedagogically focused topics, the presenters advocated for a pedagogy first approach to integrating technology into the classroom.
