Professional development
Not your typical professional development
That was different!" is one of the most common comments we hear after our workshops. Why? Because we don't waste time on fluff. Instead, we focus every minute of every session on providing educators with skills they can immediately implement in their classrooms. The result is a practical, intense PD experience that works.
Live modeling
We don’t just describe effective teaching. We show you by applying the same instructional practices we recommend, so you can see the techniques in action.
Active participation
Our workshops engage participants in deliberate practice so they leave the session able to confidently use their new instructional techniques with students in the classroom.
No wasted time
We respect teachers’ commitment to helping their students learn more faster, so we make every minute count. No fluff. No bells and whistles. Just practical learning.
Customization
We work with school leaders to understand your unique context so teachers’ work in the session is directly applicable to their real classroom challenges.
Ongoing support
We work with most schools for at least a year, often more, so learning is reinforced and results are lasting.
How we work with schools through the year
We customize our services for each school and organization we work with, but we’ve found the cadence below reliably delivers positive results and the ability to sustain progress longterm.
