ENGAGING IN COLLABORATIVE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
|
The Problem:
The education leader of a Jewish supplementary school sought practical, embedded professional learning for her staff around technological and pedagogical knowledge. Educators needed more experience integrating digital technologies and opportunities for teacher collaboration. Our Solution: Gold Learning Solutions implemented a multi-year professional development program that focused on experiential learning on digital technology integration through teacher collaboration; consistent, embedded professional development across grade levels; and building relationships/partnerships through havruta (traditional partner-based) text study and peer coaching methodologies. Deliverables: Gold Learning Solutions introduced protocols that the education director and teaching staff used during and after the series. We also created tip sheets for making connections between havruta text study and peer coaching and facilitating cross-grade teacher partnerships. |
