The Texas Association of School Administrators is partnering with Alan November and November Learning and Region 7 Education Service Center’s Digital Learning team to present a customized two-part professional development series titled Learn to Learn. This series is based on Alan’s New York Times best-selling book Who Owns the Learning and a powerful new six-step model of designing transformational learning experiences. This design list emerges out of the very best concepts developed during the past three years with teams of educators across Texas. The 2014-15 academy, focused on transforming learning communities and empowering students, will convene in December 2014 and meet again in March 2015.
Design Elements for Transformative Empowered Learning:
1. Critical thinking on the web
2. Teaching students to develop new lines of enquiry
3. Opportunities to broaden the perspective of the conversation with authentic audiences from around the world
4. Opportunities for students to publish across various media
5. Opportunities for students to create a contribution (purposeful work)
6. Access the "best in the world" examples of content and skill
Additional topics will include building collaborative classrooms, teaching students to self-assess, a range of quality teacher feedback strategies, and applying game design to learning. Participants will also discover the significant opportunities in theFirst 5 Days of School to set the tone for powerful, engaging and self-directed learning. November Learning believes that by empowering students to own their learning and by helping them to develop tools and networks for support throughout the school year, we better prepare them for the global economy. Through thought-provoking conversations, participants are challenged to consider the broad opportunities that await in the first five days of school, paying special attention to the importance of information literacy, student roles, global collaboration, and more. Participants will learn the tools and techniques required to bring these opportunities to life.

This series is designed for either individual participants or transformation teams of three-to-nine participants to work together throughout the series. Individuals/team members can include the superintendent, district and campus administrators, technology directors, curriculum specialists, librarians, academic coaches, and teacher leaders. Transformation teams can be district or campus-specific, or may include a representation from various areas within an organization. Districts may opt to send multiple teams, and some districts have found success in sending a new team each school year.
