Leading Powerful Adult Learning Online – Starts Next Week!
Dates: September 29, October 1, 6, 8, 2020
TIme: 5:30-7:30pm 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, you 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
Group Registration Available
Having the same professional development experience can advance your education team goals. It can be a launching pad to have deeper conversations about race, equity, and learning to advance student outcomes.
Virtual Connections – Last Chance to Join Us Wednesday Mornings
School Reform Initiative is concluding facilitating “Virtual Connections” for our community on Wednesdays. We are constantly working to meet the needs of educators who are committed to equity and excellence in schools. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic the Connections experience allowed us to provide a virtual community to demonstrate that we were not alone in our efforts to balance supporting our students, creating virtual learning for potentially the first time, homeschooling our own children, feeling isolated or anxious, and so many other realities. We know that there is power in community, and we still need each other to continue to navigate the current challenges we face in schools. If you have requests for other ways we can continue to support the mission of serving all students well please email Chris Jones,, chris@schoolreforminitiative.org. Join SRI for “Virtual Connections” next Wednesday at 10am Central for the last time.
#PowerofCommunity
Our goal for 2020 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!
