What is professional learning? It's the process of learning new skills and knowledge through ongoing education and training after you've joined the workforce. This can include attending classes or workshops, getting certificates, or attending industry conferences to learn more about your field. Professional development is about staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices and networking with other professionals in your industry.

 INCORPORATING 5 KEY PRINCIPALES IN PL 

Allison Gulamhussein (2013) suggests that traditional professional development methods are insufficient and must be substituted with a new approach to improve student learning outcomes. She proposes five crucial components to accomplish this objective, which I have adjusted to meet my professional learning needs and those of my educational community, Booker Elementary in Spring ISD, TX.

Foster Collaboration

  • For a shift to a digital ecosystem to be successful, it is essential to impact administrative staff before teachers. The administrative staff should feel passionate about and see the positive impact that this change can bring.

  • Information transmission to teachers should create collaborative environments that experimentally build digital ecosystems, ultimately benefiting teachers and students.


 

Who will lead what components?

  • The Administrative Staff Principals and AP are in charge of monitoring the data and aims.

  • Instructional Coaches should support teachers by modeling and following up on project planning and implementation.

  • Teachers are in charge of planning, self-study, self-assessment, and implementation.

 

Audience and their needs

  • Principals and APs must understand how a digital environment can improve statistics and achieve school objectives. They must be provided with information on digital environments, their work, and their impact on the community.

  • Depending on the grade and assignment level, instructional coaches need to know digital, teaching, and leadership strategies as well as support material and activities.

  • Teachers must include year-round training with specific content, tutoring, modeling, and resource access.
