This community is for educators advancing the practices of planning and evaluating professional development in our schools. As a community of practice, we will come together to examine the real-world challenges we face in our schools. Through shared inquiry and reflection, we will identify common threads, reframe challenges as opportunities, co-create ideas, and select promising ideas to implement within our unique contexts.
We believe leadership of professional learning is not the role of one but the responsibility of many. It thrives in a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and a shared commitment to improving what matters most: student outcomes. To support professional learning effectively, we will tap into our collective expertise, surface what works (and what doesn’t), and use our shared experience as a compass for meaningful, practical change across schools. Join us to connect with peers, learn how to overcome challenges, and discover opportunities to improve professional development in your school.

My School does not have PeerSphere yet

The conversations between members and hosts are very good, and the content of the topic is very relevant. Everyone can communicate and feedback different opinions to learn.
I am impressed by the sharing on Instructional Coaching and have been implementing this in my school and this is a very useful form of support to teachers, especially new ones. It is very important to learn from and be inspired by peers. The sessions are very well run!
After hearing our peer present his situation, we all asked several clarifying questions. For instance, I was curious about the type of evaluation process he would use. We could then ideate with him and share our experiences based on a variety of schools where we had all worked.
