Our NMUSD Adult School Professional Learning Community was recently spotlighted at two national trainings for state and federal leaders of adult education programs. The National Reporting System training The Local Connection: Building a Data Use Learning Community is a project of the U.S. Department of Education.
In Washington D.C., participants navigated their way around NMUSD Adult School’s e-PLC blog http://adultedmatters.wordpress.com to look at a good example of how schools use technology to sustain professional learning communities in California.
In San Diego on Wednesday, our administrator presented the NMUSD Adult School PLC model at a training to state and federal adult education leaders from across the country: Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Northern Mariana Islands, Texas, Utah, and Washington. After our presentation, the Principal Research Analyst who led the American Institutes for Research Training shared this comment, “…participants were energized and excited by the possibilities you showed us for sustaining a learning community through technology. I have heard so many positive comments…” The next training to spotlight NMUSD Adult School PLC will be next week in Wisconsin.
We are proud of our proactive 21st century professional learning community at NMUSD Adult School, and we are pleased that others are responding positively to our work as well.
