Getting Started

What is the "difference that makes the difference" in professional learning? As we each seek to continuously improve our educational practice, there are essential characteristics for professional learning models that have impact:
​
  • Aspires to match the individual's and/or group's needs
  • Provided just-in-time
  • Complements how learning best happens for the individual and/or group 
  • Grounded in a relational pedagogy and encourages collaboration
  • Cyclical in nature; each iteration supporting small changes that work towards transformation over time

By mirroring these characteristics, Flipped PL is geared to helping you make the most of your face-to-face time for professional learning. To leverage collaboration for reaching your goals, find out more by exploring the Design-Deliver-Debrief process outlined below.

I hope that the sites and resources I have created serve you well in your educational journey through leadership for learning, teaching and learning by moving professional learning into your time ... your space.
