Professional Learning Center

Perceiving the school as a learning community with its all students, teachers and staff members is an effective starting point for future growth. Hisar School Professional Learning Center believes that providing research, collaborative learning, and exchange opportunities with innovative, creative, and agile environments will contribute to the transformation of our staff.

Shools try to prepare their students for the uncharted business areas, the inevitable developments arising from the social change in economic, cultural, and technological terms as well as the globalization, and the “future” along with environmental transformations. Today, learning environments are evolving into flexible spaces which provide students the chance to learn at their own speed when they feel ready. The roles of the education sciences and the teacher also change based on social and technological developments. During this process, teachers have a responsibility to be open to learning and development, be constantly curious, make research, observe, be flexible, have a developed sense of empathy, transform themselves along with the surrounding people, and guide others. Professional learning environments are key for the teachers to prepare themselves for the changing conditions while also improving and growing.

Hisar School further developed its Professional Learning and Development activities, which have been present since day one, with the creation of the Professional Learning and Development (PEG) committee in 2019. The committee has conducted successful activities regarding various areas such as the PEG application process, the creation of application assessment criteria and their transfer to the digital environment, the creation and the realization of training assessment criteria, and the use of the training received in real-life learning environments.
