"As time moves on so does the reality that students of today are not the students of yesterday but the teachers haven’t moved on in the same speed as their students, technology and the world at large.
"Districts and schools need to look at personalizing the learning for the teacher. Evolving Learner is a well written book that conveys and gives great examples of how this can be done."
"Although teachers have often received training on differentiating instruction for students, most professional development for teachers continues to be 'one size fits all.' Evolving Learner explains how to make the shift to professional learning that differentiates for teachers, providing meaningful experiences that will in turn promote positive change in the classroom."
"Evolving Learner offers a compelling message of hope for educators across all disciplines in moving from an idea to implementation. It is an easy read and a great time saving topic for busy administrators offering a practical solution to facilitating the process of change from professional development to professional learning experiences. This is the one tool needed by all that is a research based process to enhance the growth and development model of one’s organization."
"Evolving Learner sets learning up to be successful for everyone on the team, including the teacher and students. This book provides necessary tools to develop a wonderful learning in a community."
"Evolving Learner is a timely resource for administrators that are planning professional learning, but also for educators that are looking to take their own professional learning into their hands."
"Evolving Learner offers a fresh approach to professional learning that all educators will find useful."
"Evolving Learner meets the needs of three important groups, teachers, coaches, teacher leaders and down in the trenches classroom teachers. This book is timely and encompasses all facets of sharing, developing and letting teachers know there is not one single answer to questions about professional development."
"Societal changes, through the use of technology, should impact how we educate students and the overall pedagogical viewpoint of education. Like meeting student needs, teachers need, and deserve, to have updated, professional learning that meets them where they are rather than a one size fits all situation. Empowering teachers to move forward and personalize their own learning will move professional learning years ahead of where we are now!
"Evolving Learner is a unique balance of incredible creativity, knowledge of innovative professional learning practices, with a deep appreciation for the emotional side of change. This trio of authors has done a remarkable job of making research based techniques of empowering the learner come alive.
