Learning Forward
Equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
Learning Forward staff spent three days in June with participants in the University of Maryland College Park School Improvement Leadership Academy, facilitating interactive sessions about effective professional learning, Standards for Professional Learning, and instructional leadership with school leaders from Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.
School Improvement Leadership Academy is funded through a federal SEED grant and provides principals and assistant principals with a two-year comprehensive, evidence-based professional learning experience focused on school improvement, equity, and instruction.
Participating principals and assistant principals receive a stipend and doctorate credit at University of Maryland. Recruitment is under way for the second cohort, which starts in November. If you are interested, contact Cherise Hunter at cjhunter@umd.edu.
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.
