Increasingly, educational research underscores coaching as a highly effective form of professional learning, essential for empowering school leaders with the capabilities required for impactful, sustainable leadership.

At the individual level, intrinsic motivation drives educators to actively seek opportunities that support their diverse learning interests and needs. Social media has played a considerable role in this area over the years, demonstrating the power of Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) with learning anytime, anywhere, and with anyone.

Feedback is a critical catalyst for professional learning and growth. It serves as a valuable tool for educators, schools, and districts to refine their skills and improve teaching, learning, and leadership. Feedback is a powerful tool for driving professional learning.

As the head coach, he ultimately calls the shots while training both players and assistant coaches alike. There is often a debate in physical and virtual spaces about who should facilitate professional learning for educators. Quality professional learning takes time and goes well beyond one and done.

I’ve spent the better part of the summer traveling around the country leading professional development for educators as they prepare for another year. I love working with teachers, but I wonder how much of the work I do in a single day training translates into real change. It takes time, energy, and resources.

I was still a high school principal and not a trained speaker and presenter. Thus, I basically just shared what my teachers and students were doing at New Milford High School (NJ) and the evidence that showed how our implementations of innovative ideas were improving student outcomes as well as teaching, learning, and leadership practices.

During my ten years as a school leader I dreaded professional development days in my district. I am not sure any educator looks forward to these monotonous experiences (developed under the guise of learning!) The problem here was that the experience focused on hours of time on task, not on the learning itself.
