An essential, hands-on resource for system-level leaders, this action guide helps implement Standards for Professional Learning in meaningful, effective ways. Standards for Professional Learning describe the content, processes, and conditions for professional learning that lead to high-quality leading, teaching, and learning. This role-specific action guide describes the steps that any system-level leader responsible for professional learning can take to implement each of the 11 standards, and illustrates how to progress from entry-level implementation to ideal implementation. It includes tools to plan first steps, reflect on current work, and coordinate their roles and responsibilities with those of other stakeholders. Designed to be used either individually or with a team, it is useful as a standalone resource or as a complement to other Standards for Professional Learning tools and resources.
