Leading Powerful Professional Learning

"Leading adult learning is difficult and many educators do not have the skills needed, nor do they know where to start. Our mental model of professional learning is skewed by years of substandard learning provided by well meaning leaders. This book will help build capacity for learning leaders to identify shortcomings and improve their craft." -- Terri Iles, Executive Director, Learning Forward Texas "Leading Powerful Professional Learning is a valuable resource to those responsible for designing and facilitating professional learning." -- Amy Colton. Executive Director , Learning Forward Michigan "Leaders often are unaware of the scope of their responsibilities when it comes to professional learning. Leading Powerful Professional Learning's diagrammatic and metaphoric way of presenting the content allows readers to access the book's content in a variety of different ways." -- Joellen Killion, Senior Advisor, Learning Forward "Most of what is currently available centers around professional learning for a specific content area (i.e. math, science, reading) but does not focus, in general, on the development, delivery, and evaluation of effective professional learning. Leading Powerful Professional Learning fills a void that currently exists for those of us charged with providing professional learning experiences." Leading Powerful Professional Learning Leading Powerful Professional Learning Leading Powerful Professional Learning -- Eric C. Lee, Director, Jacksonville State University Inservice Center "Leading Powerful Professional Learning provides specific support for those leading professional learning, giving readers the option to read cover to cover or identify specific areas of focus and read those sections. The authors present a book that moves beyond the description of what professional learning is but would provide solid examples and support for those who are leading professional learning in their school and district." -- Bryan McDonald, Assistant Professor, University of Central Missouri
