About
Learn from Kids, Peers, and the World to Transform Professional Learning
One-size-fits-all professional development is no longer effective. PD is evolving into professional learning (PL) by moving away from a factory model approach and tailoring experiences to unique learner needs. The authors present strategies for accomplishing successful PL through:
A framework where both students and teachers are active agents of learning
Cycles of inquiry to empower students to become the owners of learning
Techniques to make thinking visible for teachers and students
Cutting edge coverage of applying technology to professional learning including use of social media, gamification, and digital badges.
