The Education Week Spotlight on the New Playbook for Professional Learning: Coaching, Collaboration, and Technology is a collection of articles hand-picked by our editors.
This Spotlight explores how districts are rethinking professional development to meet today’s instructional challenges including preparing educators to use AI effectively. The articles show that PD is most successful when it is sustained, job-embedded, collaborative, and supported by coaching, virtual learning, and professional learning communities. Combined with high-quality instructional materials, these approaches help teachers and school leaders build the confidence, expertise, and practical skills needed to improve teaching and student outcomes.
