Ask any educator what the major challenge is in providing effective professional learning, and the answer is probably the same: time. Yet many schools and districts find ways to provide regular, frequent opportunities for teacher collaboration and professional learning.

Learning Forward’s workbook Establishing Time for Professional Learning guides districts and schools to develop, vet, and implement recommendations for increasing collaborative learning time for educators, then evaluate the effectiveness of the change. The workbook contains tools that provide learning leaders with resources to increase or refine the use of time for educator collaboration to achieve goals associated with any key initiative.

The hard copy is available for purchase in the Learning Forward Bookstore (learningforward.org/store) or download free at learningforward.org/report/establishing-time-professional-learning/.
