Learning Transfer: The Missing Linkage to Effective Professional Development
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v23 n3 p32-47 Sep 2020
This case study illustrates the perspectives of leaders and teachers regarding professional development and learning transfer as they relate to school improvement. The case study is set in a Midwestern middle school that is representative of many other American schools. It encourages future administrators to participate in meaningful conversations about effective professional development and learning transfer. The hope is to better understand how school leaders can plan, assess, and follow up post professional development events using a Multidimensional Model of Learning Transfer (MMLT). The case poses questions designed to prepare educational leaders to provide effective professional development for their teachers.
