Allison Rodman is the Founder and Chief Learning Officer of The Learning Loop, an educational consulting organization that provides professional learning services to districts, schools, nonprofit organizations, and businesses internationally. This includes work with public, charter, and independent schools, over 20 archdioceses, and over 60 sites across the Americas, Europe, and the Pacific for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).

Allison is an ASCD Faculty Member and author of Still Learning: Strengthening Professional and Organizational Capacity (2023) and Personalized Professional Learning: A Job-Embedded Pathway for Elevating Teacher Voice (2019). Her work focuses on adult learners, and she has written for Educational Leadership on professional learning, effective teams, and educator wellness, as well as Education Week's Classroom Q&A and Edutopia.

Allison brings experience as a teacher, instructional coach, school leader, director of teaching and learning, director of professional learning, and board member.

The Learning Loop designs, facilitates, and coaches professional learning that is personalized, purposeful, and paradigm-shifting. Allison is deeply committed to connecting learners together and sharing resources to personalize the learning process at every level of the system. 

The goal of her work is to help adult learners:

• View learning as an ongoing experience (not an endpoint or one-time workshop)

• Strengthen their professional and organizational capacity

• Create deliberately developmental organizations.

In addition to her consulting work, Allison is a Framework Specialist for The Danielson Group. In this role, she helps educators and leaders improve their ability to establish and sustain a system and culture of professional learning where teachers engage in powerful reflection, collaboration, and coaching, ultimately leading to more effective classroom practice. Finally, Allison is an Innovative Learning Expert for Catalyst:Ed, guiding leaders to access the support they need to make learning more personalized and supportive of whole child development.
