Professional Learning Network
Introduction
The Profile of a Virginia Graduate guides our work in embracing instructional methodologies and a balanced assessment process that focuses on skills in critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, collaboration and citizenship as we prepare our students to thrive, lead and be “life-ready” in the 21st century. The Virginia Department of Education encourages educators to participate in the Professional Learning Network. The practice of collaboration, networking and sharing promising practices among educators has significant implications for strengthening the educational experience for all students.
Providing experiences for our students to think critically, creatively, and become effective communicators, collaborators and good citizens has promise when we work together, share resources, insights, lessons learned and are willing to become learners ourselves.
The Professional Learning Network venue provides you and your colleagues an opportunity to learn from each other. If you wish to share your experiences in a particular area as listed below or if you have areas that you would suggest be included, please contact Tina Manglicmot, Interim Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Innovation. All submissions must be approved by the division level superintendent.
