Last call – registration closes August 15! Think local, act global in one of our Communities

Change can be scary. But you don’t have to do it alone.

The team at Powerful Learning Practice is experienced in working alongside educators to help them navigate the sea of change we are facing in the 21st century and preparing them for the future.

I’m being challenged to grow in ways outside my comfort zone. No one else is pushing me to grow as a teacher and a leader like you are.

– Renee Hawkins, Educator and Director of Instructional Technology, Garrison Forest School, Maryland

The Powerful Learning Community experience is a year-long, job embedded professional development journey that immerses educators in Web 2.0 tools as they connect and collaborate to become better teachers and leaders. We help educators move from their respective points of comfort with these virtual environments to becoming connected learners capable of leveraging these technologies for school-wide improvement. The end of the experience is marked with an action research project – a project that begins shifting change for many of the participating schools. These educators often become champions for learning with technology in their schools, scaling their efforts to colleagues and administrators.

PLP has been the best PD experience in my career thus far. From this experience, I have learned that teaching isn’t just teaching, but learning as well.

– Danielle Cripe, Language Arts Teacher, Ohio
