Graduate Students in Search of SRI Colleagues!
If you are a graduate student interested in researching teacher collaborative practices, reflective practice, or any subset of SRI’s work please consider joining us. We are hoping to use this group to provide feedback on research designs and proposals, make meaning out of data together, point to relevant literature, or anything that you might find useful to your studies. If this sounds like just what you’ve been looking for, please contact Gena Merliss, emerliss@u.rochester.edu and Annie Leonard, anniemleona@gmail.com.
Leading Powerful Adult Learning Online
February 11, 16 ,18, 23, 2021; 4:30-6:30pm Eastern
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
