"It′s hard to imagine a simple, five-step process that could integrate all of Learning Forward′s seven professional learning standards, yet that is exactly what Janice Bradley has done in the book, Designing Schools for Meaningful Professional Learning."
―Patricia Roy, Senior Consultant
Learning Forward Center for Results
"I’ve never experienced professional learning such as this! Taking part in collaborative learning with my team gave me the opportunity to explore questions and curiosities about my students that have been buried in years of district-driven professional development. Now my colleagues and I research together in order to create a learning environment every child deserves."
―Kathryn Million, First-Grade Dual Language Teacher
