Corwin and Learning Forward Forge Strategic Alliance

Corwin and Learning Forward have forged a strategic alliance to work together on professional learning initiatives.

As a publisher of professional books for K-12 educators, Corwin has had a long-standing relationship with Learning Forward, including sponsorship of Learning Forward’s summer and winter conferences, support for the Learning Forward Academy, help establishing the Shirley Hord Learning Team Award, and jointly publishing more than three dozen professional books for educators.

The new alliance opens the door to more joint ventures, such as a book series, webinars, workshops, institutes and international expansion.  

Through the strategic alliance, Learning Forward will co-publish several professional books per year for K-12 educators with Corwin. The first titles under the agreement—High-Impact Instruction by Jim Knight, Motion Leadership in Action by Michael Fullan, and School Systems That Learn by Paul B. Ash and John D’Auria—will be released in November.

The agreement also includes a seven-volume book series that will unpack how educators can achieve each of Learning Forward’s seven Standards for Professional Learning. The first books in the series are slated for 2013. The two organisations will also explore joint workshops and institutes.
