McREL's Six Steps for Designing Effective Professional Learning
Schools and districts can get the most out of their investment in professional learning by creating professional development systems, sessions, and supports that align with how our brains naturally learn and apply new information.
In this video, we share a brief overview of McREL’s six-phase model for professional learning that offers clarity and practical guidance for school and district staff who develop PD sessions. This model sequences when and how new content is presented to teachers and leaders in a way that makes the learning relevant, engaging, and connected to the real and lasting changes that educators want to see in their schools.
