Edited by:

A Joint Publication with Learning Forward



April 2016 | 136 pages | Corwin

This groundbreaking 7-book series, co-developed by Learning Forward and Corwin, closes the "knowing-doing" gap by guiding educational leaders through the process for implementing the Learning Forward Standards for Professional Learning. Each volume tackles an individual standard, providing:

  • Original essays written by leading experts in the field to promote deeper understandings of the meaning of each standard
  • An array of templates, tools, and protocols  to help you design and delivery quality professional learning in your own district or school
  • Case studies of districts "getting it right" and educators who have realized the promise of effective professional learning
