“Increasing instructional capacity and student performance…”

Our Philosophy

It is our belief that professional development designed to maximize teacher capacity should be differentiated and interactive, using small group presentation and discussion. Furthermore, it should be customized based on each school’s needs.

 

The goals of this professional development approach include:

  • Increasing teacher capacity
  • Increasing student performance
  • Providing teachers with a model to collaboratively plan high impact lessons
  • Creating a forum for professional dialogue.
  • Synthesizing
