As digital technology continues to evolve, educators now have numerous options to connect, learn, and grow in both formal and informal ways. These pathways provide an incredible supplement to formal learning opportunities that are provided through district/school trainings as well as off-site conferences, workshops, and presentations.

I was recently asked the following question about professional learning being delivered through online spaces: Do you think that educators are becoming so comfortable with online professional learning that they might not want to go back to in-person events? I remember the first time I went to Australia for a conference.

The structure encourages stasis, and the most vocal advocates for transformation come usually from those on the fringes—the consultants, commentators, and conference keynoters. Reinventing professional learning depends on our willingness to foster internal regulation, openness to problem solving, and self-awareness.

The fact remains that there was no professional learning to prepare for the reality that everyone is facing nor a plan for something like COVID19. I always like to focus on the small wins when I am facilitating professional learning with schools and districts. My favorites are Mentimeter and Padlet.

Be a Scholar Being a scholar helps you as a leader to improve professional practice and puts you in a position to have better conversations with your teachers about their own improvement. This adds a whole new level of credibility to the post-conference. I made an effort to align every point of critical feedback to current research.

During a breakout session at a large national conference, I had a packed room, which is something most presenters yearn for, and I was no different. Quite frankly, my thinking was that this is what they actually wanted at a conference. In my mind, I was doing exceptionally well as only a few people left during the session.

While schools provide their own professional development sessions or teachers may have opportunities to attend local, state, or national conferences, the cost involved in attending them leads to additional planning and preparation for our students.
