You will see how evidence-based strategies, can be included in your work as an instructional coach, teacher, and/or instructional leader.

Learning Opportunity

The Curriculum Department is divided. Debates have gotten fierce. The superintendent could settle this but she wants your special committee to decide the issue (and take the blame if it all goes bad). Ready?

The Superintendent is thrilled you've come up with a solution and made a choice. Now, she wants you to present why you did that to the campus principals with a timeline.

Take a moment to reflect on the process, the session takeaways, and/or explore the gap between where you are now in your organization and the ideal you are striving for.
