What is the Academy?
The NSDC Academy is an extended and
profound learning experience that models
the Council’s vision for professional learning
and teamwork in schools. Academy
members work collaboratively to learn about
and solve significant student learning problems that occur
within their school, district, or organization. Through immersion
in a model of inquiry-based and problem-based learning,
participants gain solutions to the
problems they and others bring; experience
a model of professional learning
that exemplifies NSDC’s Standards
for Staff Development; and construct
knowledge and develop skills necessary
to transform their learning, their
work, and their organizations.
Academy members include district
administrators, principals, teachers,
and personnel from local, state, and
national educational agencies, as well as university faculty, independent
staff development providers, and leaders from nonprofit
educational organizations.
Academy Goals
- Members clarify, study about, and solve authentic problems
related to student learning in schools.
- Members construct the knowledge and develop the skills
and courage to solve significant problems related to student
learning.
- Members transform professional learning within their own
organizations.
