Professional Learning
Now, more than ever, professional educators actively participate in a lifelong learning adventure – their own. So how do you keep up with all the advances in educational theory and practice? How do you mentor others while also developing as a professional yourself? How do you address the challenges and opportunities of teaching in the 21st century? And most important of all, how do you ensure that you are using the teaching strategies and techniques that are best for your particular students and for what you want them to learn? This section of Maryland Learning Links helps to answer these questions and provides you with some roadmaps around building a productive and rewarding career teaching all kinds of learners.
