A WELCOME SPACE FOR TAKING RISKS

摘要

Have you noticed chat the same professional learning can be transformative in one school yet have seemingly no impact in another? There are a lot of reasons for that difference, and many of them have to do with the climate for teacher learning in the school. Just as a teacher creates a classroom learning climate that can promote student learning, a school leader can create a climate for teacher learning. Some of the social and emotional components of that adult learning climate are strikingly similar to key components of the classroom learning climate. Warm and authentic relationships with others, access to trusted peers to scaffold and validate learning, and opportunities to take risks and make mistakes without ridicule help us all learn, no matter whether we are children or adults.
