Despite the complexities of the moment, educators are creative, resourceful problem-solvers. There is an emerging widespread awareness that digital learning is critical to the success of students’ education—certainly now, but also in a post COVID-19 world as we work to finally close the Digital Learning Gap.

Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference. If you’re looking for something more formal, the same kind of gathering can take place at a school site, ideally one with Wi-Fi and at least a few accessible classrooms.

A Principal's Reflections

NOVEMBER 8, 2020

For the better part of my educational career, I always referred to any type of learning to assist me as a teacher or administrator as professional development (PD). The experiences where I had some level of choice were the most meaningful to me and resulted in real changes to my educational practice.

This has resulted in fewer and fewer opportunities for educators to attend out of district learning opportunities as there is no funding to support travel, registration fees, and expenses. Something has to give though.

In future ready schools, technology and digital learning expand access to high-quality, ongoing, job-embedded opportunities for professional learning for teachers, administrators, and other education professionals. Non-traditional forms of professional learning such as the use of social media and Edcamps are valued, not dismissed.
