Leverage Professional Wisdom with Asset-Based Professional Learning
Many professional learning designs are built on the assumption that
we learn best by studying our failures. However, learning from
failure often evokes responses of denial, avoidance and the same
defensive dynamics that contributed to the failure in the first
place. Schechter's resource, presents the Collective
Learning-from-Success approach. This fresh, new, assets-based
framework will shift educators' minds from focusing in isolation on
failure to continuously deliberating together, sharing past
experiences and best practices, and solving problems related to
teaching and learning. Whether you serve as a teacher, school or
district leader, or a policy maker, your professional growth will
benefit by reflecting on actionable knowledge through collective
inquiry. This book offers educators an opportunity to come together
in forming a productive alternative to the learning from failure
paradigm. The Collective Wisdom of Practice provides a model for
how to learn from successes by providing * An assets-based approach
to designing and implementing professional learning * Strategies to
focus on learning from educators' past successes * Multinational
case studies, sample learning materials, templates, and tools * A
framework that can be applied to multiple levels, such as grade and
subject areas, building level, system level, and policy level
Grounded in more than 20 years of extensive research in the US and
internationally, this approach will have a powerful influence on
professional learning. Learn to nurture your wisdom of practice to
meet the challenge of preparing students to be co-creators of
society.
