Theme: #PLNext (The Future of Professional Learning)
Manuscript deadline: April 15
Issue: October 2017

Innovation has been a controversial buzzword in education and professional learning, evoking images of unused iPads and eye-catching software that fails to move student achievement. But learning leaders across the country are finding newer, smarter ways to combine technology, radical thinking, and new research into PL practices that will determine the face of PL for the coming decades. The many areas that can be explored in such an effort include:

• The increasing use of video in all areas of professional learning
• Online networks and their role in changing the field
• Tool, innovations, and concepts that improve professional learning
• New tools to measure, evaluate, give feedback, and take action among learning leaders
• Implementation of innovations given the broad spectrum of change readiness among educators
• Closing innovation gaps and using innovation to improve equitable outcomes
• Resources and structures essential to developing and implementing professional learning innovation
