Our tailored services
Working out which instructional approaches are best for your teaching team and students takes time and can be challenging. Our tailored professional development sessions make it easy for you and your team.
We introduce your team to the variety of approaches and programs and talk through how they could be implemented effectively in your school setting.
Before sessions, we gather information from you about your school. We can then talk through the different options on how your school can adopt approaches and programs to meet your goals.
Our professional development is designed to meet your needs. We can tailor the implementation to the school roles, your goals or current levels of knowledge.
Our professional development is available in-person in your school or online. Sessions can range in time from 60 minutes to a full day, depending on your needs.
Sessions can include activities like:
- unpacking the evidence
- reviewing case studies of similar schools
- investigating programs
- studying forms of implementation
- question and answers sessions.
Our consultants are more than happy to tailor a session to your needs.
