Our Curriculum Day Sessions Offer Practical Ways to:
ON-SITE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
We facilitate on-site study groups on topics of interest, typically organized by grade levels or by teacher interest (cross-grade). This option usually includes 1-2 periods with several groups of teachers across the day. Our clients find these school-based development sessions incredibly helpful when launching a new topic of study, studying student work and data to plan upcoming instruction, or engaging in a deep study of a particular topic.
CLASSROOM DEMONSTRATIONS & COACHING
We work in classrooms alongside teachers to demonstrate various teaching methods and structures. These interactive sessions can also include supporting and coaching teachers as they engage in the work. Classroom demonstrations are helpful when you are interested in experiencing teaching in action, working directly with students, or supporting teachers as they try new or different methods or curriculum.
We conduct our demonstrations and coaching sessions with openness, empathy, and collaboration.
FULL-DAY WORKSHOPS
We present daylong workshops for educators on specific topics of interest, such as close reading, teaching tools, or differentiated writing instruction. This option often involves a larger group of participants for either a half or full day. Workshops are helpful when you are interested in widely exploring a topic across a day.
DISTANCE LEARNING PACKAGES
We participate in distance learning sessions on a topic of interest or based on personalized questions prepared in advance. These sessions tend to be an hour long and can be bundled as a few sessions across the year. This option is helpful when focusing on a very specific need or topic, when needing a solution-oriented session based on problems you are facing, or when you want a quick check-in support session.
