37
What Is Effective Professional Learning?
• Aligning professional learning activities with data analysis, goal setting, implementation strategies, and monitoring and evaluating improvement can be highly beneficial to administrators, teachers, and students.
• Connecting content to practice: sustained, and content-focused professional development is more effective.
• Align professional learning with the needs of educators.
• To support educators, professional learning must simultaneously cultivate deep content knowledge and build understanding of effective instruction.
38
What Is Effective Professional Learning?
• Research has shown that teachers report greater changes in their instructional practice as a result of professional learning activities that involve their active participation and engagement with the work of their peers.
39
What Is Effective Professional Learning?
• Collaborative professional learning involves teachers working together to improve teaching and learning.
• Collaborative professional learning engages teachers in teams that work together on a shared learning outcome to learn from and share with each other.

Activity #3 Revisited
Using the generated list of professional learning activities, identify whether the activities are one of the following:
Focused (on content and on teaching the content)
ActiveCollaborative
Bonus: Draw a circle around activities that are differentiated; underline any activity that is ongoing throughout the year; and star any activity that is job embedded.
41
1. Aligned with school goals, state and district standards and assessments, and other professional learning activities including formative teacher evaluation.
2. Data-driven, focused, and specific to educator strengths and needs.
3. Focused on core content and modeling of teaching strategies for the content.
4. Includes opportunities for active learning of new teaching strategies.
5. Provides opportunities for collaboration among teachers.6. Includes embedded follow-up and continuous feedback.
Effective Professional Learning is:
42
One of the most important goals of every professional learning opportunity should be for all teachers to walk out more excited about teaching and more effective tomorrow than they were today. How do we get there?

Professional Responsibilities
Why change to Professional Responsibilities?
“Responsibilities” is used by every other approved evaluation system in Rhode Island and the common language makes it easier to communicate across systems.
Feedback from the field indicated that Rhode Island educators preferred the term “Professional Responsibilities”.
