Professional Learning Committee Report
The Professional Learning Committee
usually meets monthly but more meetings are taking place in the past few months. Subcommittee members have been analyzing data from the field regarding what types of professional learning opportunities work best for educators in the current environment. They are using that information to amplify voices that can support EL program leaders and our membership.
The committee is working with the NAELPA Executive board and representatives from the US Department of Education to deliver quarterly webinars. These presentations have included federal updates and relevant professional learning and are streamed live and at no charge to the public.
Decisions on topics and presenters are driven by data from our most recent survey to education professionals nationally.
In addition, PLC members are collaborating with the NAELPA annual conference subcommittee to revise guidelines for presenters and processes for the event scheduled to take place this March.
