... trust and respect students and are willing to shift control of their learning to them. These
educators want to see growth in others and strive to foster their own self-growth. They can handle change and are willing to innovate and experiment.
Because assessment is the best way to improve performance, they enjoy it, seek it, and practice it.

The PE Academy Professional Development Workshops continue to be met with open arms by Academy members. These synchronous 90 minute online workshops use Process Education principles to share ideas for strengthening practice in our classrooms and beyond.
The Learning Process Methodology is fully implemented in the workshops. Participants experience pre-workshop reading
and reflection, in-workshop presentation followed by team activities and reflection, and assessment of the ideas generated and shared. Similar to our
work with students, workshop participants are actively engaged in their learning and are challenged to push their knowledge to new levels.
Post-workshop assessments show that those participating are growing and learning each time they choose to attend. The workshops are free to PE Academy members and their guests. PE Academy Workshops held thus far have included a wide variety of engaging topics ranging from simple process-based classroom activities, to instructor reflection and assessment of course implementation, to individual and organizational development.

Professional Development Book Chat: The Genius in All of Us (October 9, 2024)
This book is a good companion to what we study in Process Education because it gives examples of people who are at the top of their areas of expertise and how they got there… not everyone who has a high IQ ends up making a large contribution to society. One needs to constantly apply themselves.

The International Journal of Process Education is a catalyst for the scholarship of teaching and learning in support of the efforts of the International Academy of Process Educators to transform higher education. Our mission is to provide a forum for, and an archival record of, this scholarly research, elevate skills in the discipline of the scholarship of teaching and learning, explore promising new research areas in Process Education, and to foster classroom-based research.
Our Statement and Policy Supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: The Academy of Process Educators believes that EVERY person has a right to a safe, healthy community where they can learn and grow without fear of hatred, discrimination, or prejudice. While working tirelessly to support the growth and success of all people, the Academy condemns all acts of bigotry, hatred, violence, and discrimination on any basis.

We'd love to have you join us and maybe even consider a leadership role!
Process Education integrates many different educational theories, processes, and tools in emphasizing the continuous development of learning skills through the use of assessment principles in order to produce learner self-development.
By providing a logical and methodical approach to improving the processes of educational systems and institutions, Process Education can play a pivotal role in empowering people to create healthier, more adaptive and sustainable lives, communities, and societies. By adopting this powerful philosophy, education can be about empowering each individual to become a self-grower by continually increasing the capacity of each to self-assess and learn. We have a Primer For Process Education; read it as pdf.
25 Years of Process Education is an article in the International Journal of Process Education; read it as pdf or read it as flip-book. We also offer a Graphic Navigator through the major areas of Process Education and a Timeline Navigator through Process Education scholarship.
