Learning Forward hosted its first Virtual Advocacy Day in September to help school and district educators and leaders make their personalized and compelling cases to lawmakers for professional learning policy and funding.
Participants learned advocacy strategies and tips to build their advocacy skills and shared ideas about how to collect and present data and evidence about the impact of high-quality professional learning to their representatives. Participants also met with key staff from the Congressional offices representing their states and districts.
Learning Forward is the only professional association devoted exclusively to those who work in educator professional development. We help our members plan, implement, and measure high-quality professional learning so they can achieve success with their systems, schools, and students.
