The Power of Personalized Professional Learning with Stephanie Lawkins
Manage episode 511268398 series 3389270
In today's episode, Stephanie Lawkins, Vice President of Educator Success at Curriculum Associates, joins to share how rethinking professional learning (PL) to create a more personalized approach creates a much stronger outcome and experience for educators. Instead of long, generic sessions, we explore how role-aware design, data, and smart recommendations can make every minute useful and energizing.
Stephanie talks through practical moves, ranging from using i‑Ready insights to shape agendas, building sessions that start with a shared focus and then branch into choice-based breakouts, and closing with concrete plans teachers can implement tomorrow. We discuss pathways that respect unique contexts while keeping a common thread—clear outcomes tied to student impact.
If you’re ready to trade one-size-fits-all professional learning for a strategic, teacher-centered model, this conversation offers a blueprint you can start using right away.
