In this discussion, you will explore how professional development opportunities, professional learning communities (PLCs), and professional organizations will support the development of your curriculum and your lifelong learning.
This discussion is an opportunity to get feedback for the narrative in Section IV: Professional Organizations and Professional Development Plan of Final Project I. In this section, you will propose professional organizations and development that will support implementing your curriculum and your own continued learning. You should review the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric to clarify what is required. You can refer to this discussion as you work on that section of the final project.
In your initial post, address the following:
Describe professional development opportunities or PLCs that can help you stay up to date with current instructional practices and promote lifelong learning. How do you collaborate with colleagues as you engage in professional learning?
Recommend one to two local, state, or national professional organizations that may support the development of your curriculum in addressing the achievement gap you selected. How can the organization(s) be used as support?
