    Use standards to assess how a conference measures up

    By Learning Forward
    Categories: Standards for Professional Learning
    August 2014
    In Learning Forward’s definition of professional learning, conferences such as the events we offer each December have a specific purpose and role. Admittedly, professional learning that isn’t embedded in the day-to-day work of schools has certain limitations. However, Learning Forward does everything possible to make sure its conference aligns with and supports the Standards for Professional Learning. Assess how well the conferences and external learning events you attend and plan live up to these standards. Learning Communities Conferences where learners spend time together learning collaboratively can build learning communities of a sort. To meet the spirit of the standards, participants in such communities commit to not only learning together but also to integrating the learning into an ongoing cycle of continuous improvement.
