World Education's approach to improving practice in the adult education field is guided by research suggesting that effective professional development should promote active, collaborative learning; be sustained over time; be job-embedded and data driven; and assess changes in participants' knowledge, skills and practices. World Education’s professional development moves participants along a continuum: becoming aware of needs in current practice, exploring new approaches, and applying what they have learned. We work with a broad range of constituents to assess professional development needs and to design and deliver a customized approach. Our approach considers context, makes connections to standards and other initiatives, and uses data for greatest impact. We promote active and collaborative learning that participants can incorporate into their jobs and sustain over time. Our professional development typically blends multiple methods and modes of delivery:
