The "Professional Learning Readiness Self-Assessment Tool" helps districts assess their capacity for effective, comprehensive professional learning. For the purposes of this tool, effective professional learning strategies are those strategies based upon research and aligned with professional standards. Comprehensive professional learning includes face-to-face and virtual learning experiences and also incorporates formal professional learning, in which the organization sets objectives, and informal professional learning, in which the educator sets objectives. It is recommended that this tool be used by a district team responsible for professional learning and/or continuous improvement planning. Ideally, leadership would be distributed among the team's members, and the team would include the superintendent or designee; central office staff; school administrators; teacher leaders; and, where appropriate, community members, parents, and/or students. The experience of self-assessing your district's readiness for effective, comprehensive professional learning by discussing how a condition is currently seen or experienced; areas of strength and need; and, where appropriate, how your district can move toward full implementation is one of the first steps in changing and improving professional learning. Self-assessment is also professional learning in and of itself--an experience that builds common understanding, ownership, and coherence.
