This, in my opinion, has been the focus of traditional professional development frameworks for way too long. &#8230; Teachers, like students, are first and foremost individuals who have passions, interests, and an inherent desire to learn. The goal for administrators should then become how to foster the learning spirit in each and every one of our teachers through a system of learning opportunities that cater to their individual needs. This, in turn, will ignite a true excitement for learning in our teachers, which will transfer into their practice. The result? Students who spend their days with teachers who exhibit a true desire to grow professionally and who model that learning matters.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningforward.org\/standards\/index.cfm\">http:\/\/www.learningforward.org\/standards\/index.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month Learning Forward released the third edition of its Standards for Professional Learning.\u00a0 These standards outline \u201cthe characteristics of professional learning that lead to effective teaching practices, supportive leadership, and improved student results.\u201d\u00a0 The standards are not simply platitudes, however.\u00a0 It is stated clearly that the standards are not a prescription for how teachers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coreeducationllc.com\/blog2\/learning-forward-standards-for-professional-learning\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Read more about Learning Forward: Standards for Professional Learning<\/span>[&hellip;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[51,76,14],"class_list":["post-494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-professional-learning","tag-best-practices","tag-professional-learning-2","tag-standards"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
