Processes for Collaborative Professional Learning
Continuous, collaborative learning keeps the joy of education alive for educators and students. In this session, participants will learn multiple strategies for engaging in collegial conversations focused on learning from one another’s experiences. Strategies will emphasize using lived experiences as the text for learning and texts as guides to reshaping living experiences.
