Leading Powerful Professional Learning: Responding to Complexity With Adaptive Expertise (Product Unavailable for Purchase)

Deidre Le Fevre, Helen Timperley, Kaye Twyford, Fiona Ell

What is central to leading powerful and effective facilitation in professional learning? You. Gone are the one-size-fits-all answers—instead, you’ll draw from your own knowledge and expertise to lead your PLC in actively solving complex problems that are unique to your context. 

For professional learning to have an improvement impact for both teachers and students, it needs to be more than a single event. Truly successful professional learning is sustained, collaborative, evidence-informed, and student-focused—generating multifaceted solutions to real-life, real-time issues rather than focusing on one piece of the practice puzzle at a time.

This book, based on the results of a five-year research study, provides:

• An innovative approach to the design and delivery of professional learning grounded in principles of adaptive expertise

• Easy-to-use one-page summaries of “Deliberate Acts of Facilitation”

• Guidance that’s fully congruent with Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning
