Deadline: Write for The Learning Professional, 2024 August Issue

Teachers and schools have to pivot all the time, in ways both big and small, whether to incorporate new research, adapt to changing student needs, or address a crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic. This issue will examine opportunities and moments where educators and systems have needed or wanted to pivot and how professional learning enabled them to make needed changes. Topics might include: how efforts to incorporate the science of reading are leveraging professional learning to shift practice; what teachers need to know and do differently as a result of post-Covid learning trajectories; the role of data in assessing and improving professional learning – and what to do when data shows your current practices aren’t working; and how to introduce or improve professional learning in a system that is resistant to change.

Submission deadline: May 1, 2024
