Professional Learning in Educational Environments

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Professional Learning in Educational Environments examines how educators and educational organizations learn, adapt, and improve through intentional professional learning systems. Drawing upon scholarship in adult learning, organizational learning, communities of practice, coaching, and professional growth, students investigate the conditions that support individual and collective growth in educational settings. Through analysis of research and application to their own professional contexts, students evaluate professional learning structures and design evidence-informed approaches to support employee development, organizational improvement, and educational effectiveness. The course engages examples from K-12, higher education, and other educational contexts. [3]
