Viewpoints: Personalized Professional Learning Today
Personalized professional learning is the holy grail
for educators. Over 200 principals and 300 teachers responded to the Personalized
Professional Learning Survey, sharing their viewpoints on best practices
and challenges for creating a personalized professional learning climate.
What do the results of the survey tell us about how districts can:
- Shift from a culture of compliance to connection in
the professional learning?
- Strengthen the links between a teacher's professional
growth needs and professional learning experiences?
- Create a backdrop for principals to transform teacher
professional learning?
This webinar features two experienced district
leaders who invite you to join in the conversation on the best approaches to
"AMPing" up actionable, meaningful, and personalized professional
learning. Jump into the survey results and get to the heart of personalized
professional learning today—you may be surprised at the pitfalls and
practices that make a difference.
Guests:
Jan John, director,
professional development, Austin Independent School District, Austin, Texas
Jane Respess, director of
professional learning and development, Brevard Public Schools, Brevard, Fla.
This webinar will be moderated by Callie Turk,

Tech's Reach in Rural School Districts

Technology is a crucial tool to create new
opportunities and a wider perspective for students in rural districts. Online
courses bring teachers, subjects, and experts to students who wouldn't
otherwise have access to them. Teaching technology skills allows students to
compete with their peers from more urban areas. But rural education leaders
must be creative in their efforts to pay for and build reliable
infrastructure, provide home Internet access for students, and implement
ed-tech programs. In this webinar, Matt Akin, superintendent of the Piedmont
City school district in Alabama, and a 2016 Education Week Leaders to
Learn From honoree, shares the strategies he has used to digitize his school
system.
Guests:
Matt Akin, superintendent,
Piedmont City School District, Piedmont, Ala.
Adam B. Clemons, principal,
Piedmont High School, Ala.
This webinar will be moderated by Michelle R. Davis,
senior writer, Education Week Digital Directions
