From Barriers to Breakthroughs: Advancing Practitioner Development in Ontario’s LBS Sector
This research report examines the barriers, drivers, and structural realities that shape professional development (PD) opportunities.
Research
Linkedin Learning Report
AlphaPlus engaged 10 English-speaking literacy practitioners from community-based programs to explore the ways that LinkedIn Learning might fit into individual professional development plans for literacy and basic skills (LBS) managers and instructors.
Read the report to see what we learned about how LBS practitioners are learning in order to strengthen their practice and better support colleagues, program participants and community partners.
Our exploration of a particular platform led us to a wider look at how literacy practitioners engage in professional learning, what makes it effective and what they’d like to see in the future.
We think that their insights and recommendations are a powerful guide to creating effective professional learning opportunities that amplify scholarship in the field.
