Professional Learning Is Key to Improving Reading
Shannon Bogle
Learning Professional, v45 n4 p38-43 2024
As of April 2024, 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have laws or policies related to evidence-based reading instruction (Schwartz, 2024). To ensure the success of these efforts, educators need and deserve multifaceted support that involves professional learning, curriculum resources, ongoing support from leaders and coaches, and a collaborative school culture that encourages all staff to improve together. Fortunately, education leaders can turn to Learning Forward's Standards for Professional Learning (Learning Forward, 2022) to design and provide support that makes a difference for students. All of the standards work together to ensure high-quality professional learning is effective, regardless of topic or discipline. To help education leaders begin to shape their literacy professional learning, this article considers how Learning Forward standards can support teachers and, ultimately, students.
