“Adult learning is facilitated when the learner’s representation and interpretation of his own

experience are accepted as valid, acknowledged as an essential aspect influencing change, and respected as a potential resource for learning.”

The problem with PD is that on the whole it treats teachers as ‘consumers’ of professional knowledge, and discourages teachers

from thinking for themselves. Teachers need to be ‘creators’ of professional knowledge.

“Learning is vulnerability. When we learn, we make ourselves vulnerable. When we engage in learning, we communicate that we want to grow, to become

better, to improve ourselves.

“There’s no time!” Get creative with schedules… before/after school, flex time, reduce non-instructional duties, provide coverage yourself

“Central office will never go for this!” Start with a pilot group… gather teacher feedback, prove the positive impact on teacher and student growth alike

“My budget is being cut!” Building teacher leadership eliminates the need for expensive out-of-house PD offerings… seek out affordable or free online venues- webinars, #rscons… send your teachers to #edcamps, #ntcamps
