Research and evidence show a link among effective professional learning, strengthened educator practice, and results for students. Learning Forward works with system leadership to develop and execute a vision for effective professional learning aligned to the Standards for Professional Learning.
We help systems analyze current professional learning policies and practices, and design and implement a learning plan based on evidence-based logic models and system priorities.
Through our professional learning planning, we have helped school systems:
Build capacity and support for high-quality in-person, hybrid, or virtual professional learning aligned with the Standards to improve educator effectiveness and results for all students;
Apply a professional learning system framework, grounded in a continuous improvement cycle, for selecting or developing rigorous curriculum and high-quality instructional materials;
Understand how to effectively design, implement, and evaluate professional learning aligned with system and school goals to improve teaching practice and student learning;
Examine evidence to analyze current professional learning and impact data, set policy and program priorities, and allocate resources;
Develop and implement a five-year comprehensive professional learning plan to facilitate individual, schoolwide and systemwide improvements to increase student achievement.
