Leading Powerful Adult Learning Online

February 11, 16 ,18, 23, 2021, 4:30-6:30pm EST

This virtual learning series is designed for leaders, coaches, or those who are often called upon to facilitate meetings or deliver professional development and need support in designing, implementing and supporting adult learning particularly in virtual learning spaces. Using SRI research-based tools, protocols, and strategies, participants learn how to build community virtually, and nurture ongoing conversations designed to improve leading, teaching and learning that are centered on equity. The virtual workshop introduces adult learning theory; builds explicit connections between adult learning and student success; supports participants to give  feedback critical to their success; and enables participants to design action plans that facilitate the improvement of teaching and learning through the lens of educational equity and excellence. By the conclusion of the 4-part workshop, participants will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of adult learning theory;
  • Understand the connection between adult learning and school transformation;
  • Understand core considerations when planning adult learning for virtual spaces with SRI reflective tools and processes;
  • Explore themselves as leaders for equity and excellence; and
  • Begin to develop and/or deepen the facilitative skills needed to lead educators’ learning

#KeepingEquityFirst2021

Our goal for 2021 is to help educators remember why they became educators, and to do whatever we can to not only help them to ‘feel’ supported, but to actually ‘be’ supported, and work together to create the schools our students deserve. I hope you will join me and continue to support SRI!

SRI is fiercely committed to educational equity and excellence, and we cannot do this work without your support!

Thank you for your commitment to students, families and communities!
