Practicing What We Teach: A Conversation on Connecting Curriculum & Professional Learning in Schools
The Aspen Institute Education and Society Program cordially invites you to attend a conversation about how to connect curriculum and professional learning in schools, and why that matters. The recent adoption of college- and career-ready standards in almost every state raises the bar for student learning, and the shift demands new instructional materials as well as more sophisticated, adaptive teaching. In light of these increased expectations, systems need to support teachers in advancing student learning, and a primary means by which they can do this is to help teachers become experts in the curriculum they are using. Our recent report, Practice What You Teach: Connecting Curriculum and Professional Learning in Schools makes the case for integrating curriculum into professional learning so teachers can focus on creating engaging learning environments, responding to the needs of their students, and continuously improving their craft.
