David Bramley's curator insight, November 20, 2013 5:01 PM

Changing your behaviour to develop a personal/professional learning network will be essential to thrive in an era of perpetual change.  The old focus on Continuing Professional Development is no longer fit for purpose and this video delivers  advice on creating a network  based on research

CedricBorzee's curator insight, January 22, 2014 5:01 PM

The author points 3 criteria for Learning Networks to emerge :

- user ownership

- user independence

- user self-determination 

 

Then 3 "values" - that could also be defined as "Attitudes"
- Trust 

- Openness

- Integrity

 

Last part is on how to "nurture" the right climate for Learning Networks to thrive.

Beth Kanter's insight:

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other,” John Kennedy intended to say in Dallas on November 22, 1963.


We see two catalysts as supporting our change from a traditional professional development to a contemporary professional learning model; a combination of our Instructional Coaching program and a 24/7 informal peer education model which can be observed most closely by watching our Twitter streams at #acps. Both offer a collaborative environments in which educators are supported to self-initiate learning, cross-pollinate ideas, test new strategies, and share resources.


In concert with such technology affordances, is an equally robust human capital strategy. Coaches focus on helping teachers develop and reach thoughtful and even unconventional professional goals such as how a middle school science teacher can introduce more play into learning.  In our model, teachers take ownership of their development by seeking out a coach, rather than a coach being “assigned” by a principal.
