Description

This episode explores Learning Forward’s new Professional Learning Standards, focusing on Learning Designs.

There are many factors as we select a learning design:

• the goals of the learning
• characteristics of the learners
• their comfort with the learning process and one another
• their familiarity with the content
• the magnitude of the expected change
• educators’ work environment
• resources available to support learning

Models have many common components:  active engagement, modeling, reflection, metacognition, application, feedback, ongoing support, and formative and summative assessment, that support change in knowledge, skills, dispositions, and practice.

As we choose a learning design, we want to focus on promoting active engagement, deep learning, that inspires action.
