Teacher Learning

MLT's teacher learning initiatives recognize the pivotal role of teacher education and are based on these core principles:
  • Effective professional development improves teachers' content knowledge, instructional decision making, professional judgment, and leadership skills.
  • Teachers must be actively engaged in their own content learning.
  • Effective professional development is closely connected to classroom practice.
  • Teachers benefit from work with colleagues who can question, challenge, support, and provide a network of resources for each other.
Our work includes research to identify factors that foster teacher learning; the design, production, and evaluation of professional development materials; and helping educators to become effective staff developers.
