6. Dear Colleagues, • The Board of Directors of Learning Forward New England are happy to present you with a copy of Learning Forward’s revisedStandards for Professional Learning. As you know Learning Forward ( formerly the National Staff Development Council) has been promoting standards in Professional Development since the original Standards for Staff Development were published in 1994. • The 2011 Standards for Professional Learning include a number of key changes from earlier editions. The seven standards are more clearly defined. The standards are holistic and combine to promote core concepts that have been proven to increase educator effectiveness and increased achievement for students. The Standards for Professional Learning describe the context, process, and content for effective learning. • As you will see, there are extensive resources in the back of this document to guide you in the use of the Standards for Professional Learning. We urge you to take advantage of this wonderful resource. On March 30, 2012, Stephanie Hirsch, Executive Director of Learning Forward, will be presenting at our Learning Forward New England Annual Conference on the topic of Assessing Professional Learning through the use of the Standards for Professional Learning. You can check our website at http://www.learningforwardnewengland.org in January for details.
