At SELF, we believe that real change is possible when you empower educators at every level to ensure they meet the needs of ALL learners. At every level, from paraeducators to district superintendents, we design professional learning experiences and structures that build the expertise and confidence of educators to work with every student.
Every experience at SELF is rooted in our Adult Learning Principles.
Purposeful
Learning
Adults learn best when they come to learning knowing what they want to learn and why
Learning by Doing
Adults learn best when they are given meaningful opportunities to engage with the content and to do the intellectual work themselves
Community of Practitioners
Adults learn best within a community of practitioners who collaborate and support each other
Ownership of Learning
Adults learn best when they are empowered to seek and apply new knowledge, skills and strategies
