Teachers are Learners Too! Creating Robust Professional Development based on Adult Learning Theories
Teachers spend their career exploring how children learn best. They take courses on child development, learning theory, and pedagogy. However, those who teach teachers, rarely study adult development, adult learning, and andragogy (the art and science of teaching adults). This course provides opportunities for anyone supporting teacher learning to explore these topics and consider implications for the upcoming school year in collaboration with others.
In this three-session online course, we will explore theories of adult development and workplace learning, discuss how the theories can be applied in the context of K-12 schooling, and utilize the theories as individuals and teams to plan for the 2025-2026 school year.
If you are interested in how teachers learn best, whether through formal professional development or informal interactions with one another, this course is for you!
A discounted registration rate is available for individual educators paying for their own registration out-of-pocket.
