As you have noticed, there is a wealth of information on the Learning Forward website that provides an in-depth look at the Professional Learning Standards and the role of the standards in increasing student achievement. As a leader of curriculum, instruction and assessment, you will need an in-depth understanding of the most effective and efficient methods of providing learning for the faculty/staff. For your assignment this week, you are to develop a summary (in your own words) of the professional learning standards. You must also consider the curriculum trend that relates to Individualized Professional Development (as discussed in the article)

Your summary must include:
Rationale for the development of professional learning standards
The connection between professional learning standards and student achievement
A discussion of ways in which you believe the trend of individualized professional development meets or does not meet the standards of professional learning.
A summary of each of the standards
Your method of submitting this information will be your choice…you may either do a paper of no more than 4 pages double spaced, 12 font, or you could do a Power Point, a Prezi, or whatever method of summary you prefer. The requirement is that it meets the criteria above.
