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.

Columbia University CPET Teachers’ College
The Center for Professional Education of Teachers (CPET) is an organization of the Columbia University Teacher’s Academy dedicated to developing global capacities in teacher education, research, and school reform. CPET has been a leader in providing professional development service to schools in New York and beyond.
During the process of transitioning from the committee to the center, a project group was established to collaborate with the Center for the Professional Education of Teachers (CPET) of Columbia University. In this study carried out in partnership with CPET, the mission, goals, organization chart, and objectives of the center were created based on the mission and vision of Hisar School. With CPET, which is carried on effectively, the collaborative works of Hisar School Professional Learning Center may be summarized in three areas as follows:
- Develop policies, vision, mission, guidelines, and job descriptions,
- Organize leadership coaching sessions for discussing hardships via critical thinking
- Assess the adult learning, instructor training, instructional coaching, and other training.
