Professional Learning News
 
Last Friday, February 19, I attended the Visible Learning Institute with John Hattie and J ohn Almarode. What a learning experience! What an opportunity to hear directly from the author of Visible Learning! Over 180 people attended this institute from all over Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland.

So, what are the take aways? What will be the impact of this institute? How do we make connections between Hattie's work and our current initiatives and goals?

So my challenge to all of you:
  • Do something with the learning you participated in on Feb. 19.
  • Apply what you learned to your position, your school, your system.
  • As you think about the connections, what are your learning intentions and success criteria?
  • Where are you going?
  • How will you get there?
  • What are your next steps?
Tweet your thoughts .... Let's keep this learning going. #LIvirginia
