Professional Learning Plan 

     The professional learning course will span the entire school year, comprising six in-person meetings and five online modules. Participants will benefit from ongoing support through open discussion boards, in-class assistance, and a mentorship program. The course will commence with an exploration of the shortcomings of our current educational system, followed by the development of strategies to address these issues.

​

     Structured in a blended learning format, the course itself will serve as a model for participants. Learners will have the opportunity to observe, engage with, and design their own blended learning initiatives, receiving constructive feedback on their efforts. Each participant will also be encouraged to tailor their plans to their specific disciplines, ensuring the immediate applicability of their learning.

Throughout the course learners will participate in discussion boards and group assignments/projects. These projects will be presented during in person sessions. Presentations will result in feedforward and an opportunity to voice why they chose to their way and protentional changes to better their work. Learners will get the opportunity to share their strengths and weaknesses and gain entail from others where needed.

My plan is to introduce the idea and plan for our blended learning initiatives. Reading and math coaches throughout the district will assist with reading and math blended learning planning. Principles will be in charge of mentorship programs.

​

The following will assist in facilitating learning throughout the professional learning course:

​

Session 1: Amburh Richard will work to introduce the new learning concept and its benefits

Session 2: Technology lead will assist in designing online content

Session 3: Reading and Math Coach will assist with strategies for reading and math instruction

Session 4: Reading and Math Coaches will assist with Assessments and Evaluations

Session 5: Assistant principal will assist with implementation and planning

Session 6: Principal will assist with future planning and continued support.

In order to cater to the needs of my audience and ensure a relevant, engaging, and impactful course I plan to take into account the following things:

  • Diverse learning styles

    • I will incorporate a mix of visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing elementst o ensure leaners can fully engage with the material.

  • Experience Levels

    • I will offer foundational content for beginners while giving those with more expertise the opportunity to work at an advanced level.

  • Job roles/positions

    • I will provide examples and case studies that are relevant across various positions to make content relatable and applicable to each learners specific role.

  • Personal and professional goals

    • I will acknowledge personal and professional goals by including goal-setting activities and reflective exercises so that learners can connect the course material with their own aspirations.

  • Language considerations

    • Clear, jargon free language will be use to avoid misunderstandings

  • Time constraints

    • The course will be modular, allowing learners to work in manageable chunks.

  • Ongoing support

    • Support will provided through discussion boards, Q & A sessions, access to participants that can share insights and solutions, and mentorship

  • Resource availability

    • Access to recommended resources and references for further reading will be provided to participants.

  • Feedback mechanisms

    • Feedback will be gathered throughout the course to allow for real-time improvements and adjustments.

  • Adaptability

    • Regular updates and revisions will be made based on participant feedback to ensure relevance and effectiveness over time.

Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG): By 2026, every participating educator will have the skills and confidence to create a vibrant blended learning environment, resulting in improved student outcomes and a culture of lifelong learning in their schools.

    • Presentation software for use during in-person sessions, available for both the presenter and the learners.

    • Video recording tools to capture segments of in-person sessions for subsequent review.

    • Literature focused on learning styles and the implementation of blended learning approaches.

    • Case studies to provide practical examples and opportunities for application.

    • Templates and rubrics to aid in planning and evaluating assignments and projects.
