As has been oft-discussed on this blog, as well as among communities of teachers since time immemorial, professional development (PD) activities are quite frequently dull, irrelevant, time-consuming, and centered around a single expert delivering one-size-fits-all content to a group of workshop attendees. This is not an effective approach to adult learning (or any learning, really), …

Just as online teaching and learning became a necessity for K-12 and postsecondary students during the COVID-19 pandemic, so too did online professional learning activities for educators at all levels. Not only have professional development (PD) activities primarily been held in virtual spaces over the last two years (both synchronously and asynchronously), but often the …

As I continue to dive deeper into the research related to professional development (PD) and adult learning initiatives within higher education, one aspect of PD I’ve yet to explore is the evaluation of PD. In other words, how do we determine if a PD enterprise was successful? Is the learning having an ongoing, meaningful impact …

Best practices in professional development: What educational institutions might have to learn from the business sector

Katie Clum January 19, 2022 January 19, 202201 - Visionary leadership, 02 - Teaching, Learning, & Assessments, 03 - Digital age learning environments, 04 - Professional Development & Program Evaluation, 05 - Digital Citizenship, 06 - Content Knowledge & Professional Growth, Adult Learning, Collaborator, Learning Designer, problem-based learning, Professional Development, Professional Learning Facilitator

Though it’s generally acknowledged that education theory and practice inform adult learning and professional development activities in all kinds of domains, the connection between education research/best practices and teaching/learning as it occurs in corporate environments is perhaps less explored. For the purposes of this investigation, I’m interested in finding exemplars of professional learning design and implementation that are taking place outside of K-12 schools and higher education institutions. How are best practices in education …

This quarter I’ve had the opportunity to dust off some of my classroom teaching skills and come alongside a friend and fellow teacher to help her think critically about a 6th grade nonfiction English/Language Arts unit she’ll be teaching this Fall. In this unit, which is approximately one month in length (3-4 weeks), 6th grade students …

Of course, in order to …
