Professional Development
WHAT WE OFFER
We recognize that the strength of a school or district lies in its leadership. That’s why our service focuses on creating a robust professional learning community that brings together principals and district office staff.
By facilitating leadership summits and strategic meetings, we provide a platform for leaders to:
- Share Insights and Strategies: Engage in meaningful discussions about challenges and successes, sharing strategies that have led to impactful changes in educational environments.
- Develop Unified Vision: Work collaboratively to create a cohesive and forward-thinking vision for the entire district, ensuring alignment in goals and approaches across all schools.
- Enhance Leadership Skills: Through targeted workshops and sessions, leaders will explore the latest in educational leadership theory and practice, enhancing their skills in areas such as decision-making, communication, and change management.
- Build a Support Network: Establish a network of support among peers, facilitating ongoing dialogue and collaboration that continues beyond the confines of the professional development sessions.
We also foster professional development through our “Learning Cycles.”
These learning cycles include:
- Professional learning that provides research, examples, and opportunities to practice and plan key instructional and cultural strategies.
- One-on-one check-ins with each educator that provide actionable follow-up support to ensure educators implement the key practices from professional learning.
- Progress monitoring support, such as classroom walkthroughs or school leadership check-ins to support change management from a leadership lens and plan the coherent next steps for educator support.
In addition, schools can also request demonstration lessons, intensive teacher co-planning, personalized in-person teacher coaching, or facilitated peer observations to deepen teacher practice and support throughout these learning cycles.
A learning cycle usually lasts 2 to 3 months, with schools engaging in anywhere from two to five learning cycles throughout the year, given the level of intensity desired.
