As educators, we know that learning is a lifelong adventure that does not stop once we earn our degrees. Research is clear: ongoing professional development increases teacher effectiveness and contributes to a culture of learning and a community of belonging. According to the principles of Andragogy, adult learners bring knowledge and life experience, seeking to apply these lessons in new environments while addressing a variety of needs that differ from those of student learners. The What, Why, and How of our professional development opportunities have the power to persuade and transform both people and systems. We also recognize that many of us find ourselves in positions requiring us to plan, lead, and facilitate professional learning experiences without much training or guidance on how to do this effectively. The Staff Development Academy is designed to build the capacity of leaders in all forms of professional development, including meetings, presentations, and coaching experiences. Participants will learn a variety of concepts and skills to support them in these roles, regardless of their title or position. Creating and maintaining a community of belonging is essential for fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where all members feel valued and connected. This sense of belonging enhances collaboration, boosts morale, and promotes a positive culture that benefits both educators and students. By participating in the Staff Development Academy, leaders will not only enhance their professional skills but also contribute to building a stronger, more cohesive educational community. Participants must plant to attend all six sessions. Skillset Focus: Designing for transformative learning experiences-Planning for effective meetings-Building community as foundational to learning and risk taking-Communication skills supportive of learning and growing-Understanding the change process-Principles of Andragogy and why it matters-Facilitator moves for engaging your audience
