How professional learning improves teacher and student outcomes: Examining the evidence
Presenters: Tauheedah Baker-Jones, Rachel Garrett and Larry W. Johnson
This webinar will examine what we know from research about the relationship between effective professional learning and improved teaching and learning outcomes. See examples of how states, districts, and schools document the ways in which their professional learning leads to improvement. Gain strategies to determine if professional learning is having a positive effect on teachers and students; to use research to make decisions about professional learning; and to identify data and evidence to help understand the impact.
Participants of this webinar will:
- Examine the research on how professional learning leads to improvements in teacher practice and student outcomes;
- Learn from district and school leaders about the ways they use and collect evidence on the impact of their professional learning; and
- Learn about key research resources from Learning Forward.
