"Evolving
Learneris
a
unique
balance
of
incredible
creativity,
knowledge
of
innovative
professional
learning
practices,
with
a
deep
appreciation
for
the
emotional
side
of
change. This
trio
of
authors
has
done
a
remarkable
job
of
making
research
based
techniques
of
empowering
the
learner
come
alive.
Filled
with
practical
stories
from
classrooms
around
the
world,
this
book
will
super
charge
educators
to
more
deeply
understand
the
needs
of
students
to
help
them
expand
their
own
boundaries
of
learning. Of
particular
note,
are
the
strategies
to
help
students
own
their
learning
and
educators
to
build
collaborative
classrooms.
This
book
honors
the
role
of
the
teacher
as
the
head
learner.
The
knowledge
and
wisdom
within
these
pages
is
the
reference
and
guide
that
we
need
to
build
healthy
classrooms
for
students
and
teachers."
"As time moves on so does the reality that students of today are not the students of yesterday but the teachers haven’t moved on in the same speed as their students, technology and the world at large. The needs and expectations have jumped ahead 100+ years. Today’s teachers need to be as modern-thinking as the students they work with on a daily basis. Evolving Learneris a great step in moving in the right direction to meeting not only student needs to enter the world of discovery- learning but teacher needs through collaboration and project based learning as practices. I celebrate the authors and the work that has been done to get the process started. "
"Societal changes, through the use of technology, should impact how we educate students and the overall pedagogical viewpoint of education. Like meeting student needs, teachers need, and deserve, to have updated, professional learning that meets them where they are rather than a one size fits all situation. Empowering teachers to move forward and personalize their own learning will move professional learning years ahead of where we are now!Evolving Learneroffers guidelines, examples, and strategies to move professional learning ahead at the same rate we offer our students progression in their own self-empowered learning."
Evolving Learneris a fast and easy read but is jammed pack with ideas that can be implemented tomorrow whether you are in the classroom, supporting teachers in the classroom, or supporting your organization as whole. As a school leader myself, it provides meaningful and relevant strategies to reframe professional development for your organization.
"Evolving Learner offers a compelling message of hope for educators across all disciplines inmoving from an idea to implementation. It is an easy read and a great time saving topic for busy administrators offering a practical solution to facilitating the process of change from professional development to professional learning experiences. This is the one tool needed by all that is a research based process to enhance the growth and development model of one’s organization."
"Evolving Learneris a timely resource for administrators that are planning professional learning, but also for educators that are looking to take their own professional learning into their hands."
"Districts and schools need to look at personalizing the learning for the teacher. Evolving Learner is a well written book that conveys and gives great examples of how this can be done."
"Although teachers have often received training on differentiating instruction for students, most professional development for teachers continues to be 'one size fits all.' Evolving Learnerexplains how to make the shift to professional learning that differentiates for teachers, providing meaningful experiences that will in turn promote positive change in the classroom."
"Evolving Learner sets learning up to be successful for everyone on the team, including the teacher and students. This book provides necessary tools to develop a wonderful learning in a community."
"Evolving Learneroffers a fresh approach to professional learning that all educators will find useful."
"Evolving Learner meets the needs of three important groups, teachers, coaches, teacher leaders and down in the trenches classroom teachers. This book is timely and encompasses all facets of sharing, developing and letting teachers know there is not one single answer to questions about professional development."
