Empowering Educators for Student Success: A New Approach to Professional Learning in New York State

This strategy aims to provide equitable, ongoing, and relevant professional learning opportunities to educators in New York State, focusing on high-quality practices and collaboration among stakeholders. By shifting from professional development to professional learning, educators are empowered to take an active role in their continuous development. The strategy includes a timeline for the implementation of the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards and emphasizes the importance of educator input and engagement in the process. The goal is to create a supportive environment that enhances teaching practices, student learning outcomes, and overall school success.
