SUMMARY:Deadline: Write for The Learning Professional\, 2024 December Issue
DESCRIPTION:Building bridges – December 2024\n\n\n\nMeaningful professional learning doesn’t happen in isolation\, nor does it occur at a single moment in time.

This issue will look at why and how bridge-building is essential for professional learning to achieve results. Topics of interest include: partnerships between pre-service teacher education and ongoing professional learning; connections between alternative certification programs and district professional learning; alignment of professional learning for teachers and leaders; how to ensure professional learning is part of district and school improvement plans; and professional learning that connects educators across schools or districts. \nSubmission deadline: September 1\, 2024 \nLearn more about writing for  The Learning Professional here.

SUMMARY:Deadline: Write for The Learning Professional\, 2024 August Issue
DESCRIPTION:Learning to pivot – August 2024\n\n\n\nTeachers 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. \nSubmission deadline: May 1\, 2024 \n\n\nLearn more about writing for The learning Professional here.  \n

February 29-March 1 for our first Title II-A Symposium. This two-day learning event is designed to help districts strategically plan\, implement\, and evaluate their use of Title II-A funding to support comprehensive professional learning in their systems.\nTitle II-A is the only federal funding source dedicated to professional learning for teachers and leaders\, providing over $2 billion per year to support effective instruction through the preparation\, recruitment\, and development of educators. Through Title II-A\, districts have the opportunity to make strategic\, evidence-based decisions about the funding they receive to improve teaching and learning for all students. States and districts must have well-trained Title II-A advocates who understand how to leverage grant funds to strategically support comprehensive system improvement. \nHave questions about: \n\nAllowable uses?\nFederal requirements and reporting?\nAligning your grant implementation plan with your district strategy?\nConducting a comprehensive needs assessment?\nMeasuring the impact of professional learning?\n\nAdditional points of focus include: Advocating for strategic spending\, using logic models and evidence-based strategies to inform programming\, and designing standards-aligned professional learning programs. \nThis Symposium will empower Title II-A grant and program managers must be empowered to advocate for and support intentional\, transparent\, and strategic spending aligned to a comprehensive improvement plan\, and understand how to deliver these federal resources in a way that maximizes impact for communities where needs are high and resources are tight. In addition\, participants will understand how to measure results from Title II-A funded programs and use data to advance strategy. \nThrough this event\, Learning Forward will help you advance the sustainability and integrity of this grant by providing a comprehensive training and support network to Title II-A grant managers. Developing a learning experience that amalgamates Learning Forward’s Standards for Professional Learning\, Title II-A statutory requirements\, and best practices is the first step to ensuring that our school systems continue to receive annual professional learning allocations and that those funds are leveraged for maximum impact. \nParticipants who attend this event will: \n\nDevelop a grant implementation plan that is compliant with statutory requirements and aligned to the Standards for Professional Learning.\nUnderstand how to evaluate the impact of professional learning programs and how to leverage evaluation data to advance strategy.\nUnderstand how to advocate for the strategic utilization of Title II-A funds to support district goals and best practices.\n\nWhen: February 29-March 1\, 2024 \nTime: 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday\, February 29; 8:30 a.m.-noon Friday\, March 1 \nWhere: Lubber Run Community Center\, 300 N.

SUMMARY:Implementing a Coaching Cycle
DESCRIPTION:This 15-hour\, three-week blended course helps coaches plan\, support\, gather data\, and reflect on lessons with the teachers they support. \nBegins February 19 \nAs coaches carry out their critical role as a classroom supporter\, they implement three key aspects of a coaching cycle: \n\nEngaging in a planning session with a teacher as they prepare an upcoming lesson;\nDetermining how they will support the teacher — through demonstration teaching (modeling)\, co-teaching\, or observing\, and collecting data;\nReflecting\, including analyzing data collected during the lesson\, discussing the results of the lesson\, and applying what they learn to future teaching practices and future coaching cycles.\n\nIn this 15-hour\, three-week blended course\, expert coaches Heather Clifton and Andy Mendelsberg will unpack the coaching cycle as well as examine and practice critical components of planning and reflective conversation to set the stage for coaches’ ongoing work with teachers. \n  \nThrough live sessions\, activities that support application of learning in their work\, and collaboration with colleagues\, learners will identify types of coaching cycles appropriate for their work with teachers\, and will develop and implement strategies for strengthening their own application of each key component of the cycle. Using tools\, strategies and activities grounded in the Standards for Professional Learning as well as the book Coaching Matters\, learners will apply strategies to support them in their work as classroom supporter\, data coach\, learning facilitator\, and more.
