Enhancing Teacher Professional Development: Tailoring to Adult Learners and Differentiation"

Teacher professional development is best when it is tailored to better align with adult learning principles and differentiation for adult learners. Like some of our students, adults bring a wealth of experience, prior knowledge, and specific goals to their learning. Effective professional development should recognize these differences by incorporating practical, relevant content that can be immediately applied in the classroom. It should also offer opportunities for active participation, collaboration, and reflection. Differentiation is key, as adult learners have diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and paces. Providing a variety of learning modalities and personalized support ensures that professional development is meaningful, engaging, and impactful for every educator. We know that keeping strong, dedicated, and experienced teachers in the classrooms is more important now than ever before!
