NLSI Professional Learning Series is structured around the latest research in effective professional development practices. Our practices are embodied by those aspects that Wells (2007) and Garet, Porter, Desimone, Birman and Yoon (2001) have identified as critical to the successful implementation of teacher learning. They are consistent with our core beliefs. The NLSI Professional Learning Series is dedicated to achieving student success through inquiry based activities that are:
- Learner Centered -Teachers are the key to improving student learning;
- Practical - Professional learning must relate directly to the classroom.
- Collaborative - Teachers should have opportunities for meaningful interaction with colleagues.
- Engaging - Teachers should have opportunities to observe successful use/implementation of technology
