Transformative Professional Learning
Margery Ginsberg's new book’s has a bold new vision for professional learning. It emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation and respect for cultural diversity for a transformative approach to school improvement. Knowing that culture and motivation are inseparable influences on learning, Ginsberg provides practical steps that focus on teaching and learning grounded in the reality of students’ lives. Because motivated teachers tend to have motivated students, Ginsberg also proposes a professional learning experience in which teachers experience the same motivational conditions that they can use to inspire their students.
