A summary of the Professional Learning Standards

As you have noticed, there is a wealth of information on the Learning Forward website that provides an in-depth look at the Professional Learning Standards and the role of the standards in increasing student achievement. As a leader of curriculum, instruction and assessment, you will need an in-depth understanding of the most effective and efficient methods of providing learning for the faculty/staff. For your assignment this week, you are to develop a summary (in your own words) of the professional learning standards. You must also consider the curriculum trend that relates to Individualized Professional Development (as discussed in the article)
