The Quick Reference Guide is available at http://www.learningforward.org/standards/StandardsReferenceGuide.pdf.
The Standards for Professional Learning are designed to set policies and shape practice in professional learning. Improvement is a continuous process without a beginning or end. Because professional learning is at the core of every effort to increase educator effectiveness and results for all students, its quality and effectiveness cannot be left to chance.
The standards may help guide the efforts of individuals, teams, school and school system staff, public agencies and officials, and nonprofit and for-profit associations or organizations engaged in setting policy, organizing, providing, facilitating, managing, participating in, monitoring, or measuring professional learning to increase educator effectiveness and results for all students. These standards stimulate dialogue, discussion, and analysis that lead to increased effectiveness in professional learning regardless of the state of current practice.
Here are several suggestions for how various types of educators may
use the standards to deepen their understanding of effective professional
learning and how to strengthen professional learning for all educators.
The book Standards for Professional Learning (Learning Forward, 2011; see
ordering information at right) offers a more comprehensive list.

professional learning.

learning.

discussions.
