Learning Forward has been working diligently to strengthen support for effective professional learning through ESEA authorization. To date, thanks to our work with Penn Hill Group and through our membership in the Knowledge Alliance, we have had some influence on changes to Title II. Some of our key language has been added to the definition of professional learning, which should enhance the alignment between the legislation and what educators want and need most to become their very best.
We continue to be vigilant in monitoring the updates and doing what we can to advocate for attention and resources for professional learning, consistent with theStandards for Professional Learning and Learning Forward’s definition.
