Everything you need to know about the Planning and Evaluating Professional Development community

About

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.
