Still Learning with Allison Rodman – The Authority 76

Allison Rodman is the Founder and Chief Learning Officer of The Learning Loop, an education consulting organization that provides professional learning design, facilitation, and leadership coaching services. Her work focuses on adult learners, and she brings experience as a teacher, instructional coach, school leader, director of teaching and learning, director of professional learning, and board member.

In this episode, we discuss her latest book, Still Learning: Strengthening Professional and Organizational Capacity (ASCD). The conversation covers:

• What the data says about best practices for educator capacity-building
• Why educators’ social-emotional development isn’t often prioritized
• What the past few years — including the pandemic — indicated about the need for educators to be “still learning”
• Creating more harmony between personal and professional identities
• Enneagram — how to use it
• The relationship between individual and organizational learning
• Importance of intentional time for reflection
