Make Time for Professional Learning
Learning Professional, v42 n5 p78-80 Oct 2021
Adequate resources are essential for professional learning to achieve desired outcomes for educators and students. Time is one of the most valuable resources for learning, but it is also one of the greatest resource challenges for education leaders, especially in the U.S. In the recent book "The Learning Principal," authors Kay Psencik, Frederick Brown, and Stephanie Hirsh (2021) point out that leaders who cultivate a learning culture in their schools are skilled at making and protecting time for professional learning despite the challenges. They know how to balance priorities, allocate tasks, and arrange schedules to make appropriate learning designs available to all educators. Many begin by looking to repurpose existing time to create more time for learning. This article features a tool from "The Learning Principal" that can help school leaders (and other learning leaders) assess how time is currently being used -- or not used -- for learning and continuous improvement.
