PLAT Personalized Learning Process When our educators are learning, so are our students. In 2016, the Parkway Professional Learning Action Team started researching personalized professional learning. After much learning, and many iterations, we are very pleased to offer you a way to earn credit for the learning that makes the difference in your classroom! Professional Learning systems have historically focused on quality inputs (usually inservices or conferences) to improve professional practice and earn inservice credit. While these events can be very powerful, due to financial and calendar constraints, they may not always meet the immediate needs of educators. In the digital age, we can add individualized, just in time learning to our professional learning toolbox focused on outputs (evidence of application of choice learning to own setting). Evidence of outputs may include application of professional learning via samples of student work, lesson plans, videos, reflection, and/or other artifacts.

Parkway Personalized PD - FAQ What is the difference between the Choice and Personalized Learning options? What is Personalized Learning and why is this happening? Do I have to complete a Personalized Learning Experience? Is this the same as my New Educator Induction Courses? How does this work? How do I get started? What type of credit can I earn for this? When should I hear back if my proposal has been approved? What do I do if my proposal has been denied? What do I do if it has been approved? What will I need to document to get my credit? How do I submit all my learning after I have been approved and completed all the work? How/When do I know if I have earned credit? How many of these can I do? Who is reviewing my work? What is a professional resource? Who do I contact if I have questions? What is the timeline for submissions? Can Instructional Coaches apply for Personalized Learning Experiences?
