Finding a Way Forward

Abstract

“Authentic Professional Learning” is the term I have used to represent the lived experience of continuing to learn as a professional. This term distinguishes the realities of the experience of PL from the rhetoric about PD expectations, whilst raising the notion of authenticity with respect to dealing with dissonance between the two. This chapter outlines a framework based on this notion of APL, proposing constructive possibilities for supporting professionals as they learn in the current context.
