Welcome to Sustained Integrated Professional Development (SIPD) for GenAI

You are welcome. In 2025, Phil Hubbard and I wrote an open-access position paper on – what we call – Sustained Integrated Professional Development (SIPD) for GenAI. In that article, we outline ten knowledge and skill areas, which I also discussed here in the blog and about which we spoke in our podcast, and seven principles of SIPD. These seven principles can be labeled with the following seven adjectives: grounded, learner-centered, incremental, sipped, reflective, ethical, and collaborative.

Episode 4 of our podcast Opening AI for Language Learning has Phil and me discussing these principles. You can find this and other episodes on Apple Podcasts or anywhere where you get your podcasts from, including YouTube.
