LFND BelievesProfessional learning (PL, aka PD) is based
on theory, research and proven practice.
Collaboration within the school community is essential for school improvement and student success.
LFND Believes Professional learning (development) is most effective when supported by an organizational culture that fosters learning for all.
All professional learning (development) should be high quality and aligned to Learning Forward’s Standards for Professional Learning.
LFND Believes
The success of ND students is affected by sustained professional learning (development) of all educators.
School improvement results from continuous professional learning (development).
LFND Believes
Professional learning (development) must be embedded in the organizational structure for systemic change.
All educators share the responsibility for both individual and organizational growth.
LFND BelievesEffective professional learning honors
differences in learners by using various approaches to learning.
Effective professional learning promotes collaboration and community with other professional organizations.
LFND Believes
High quality professional learning is an ongoing process, not a single product or event.
