On-Site Professional Development: Programs

Class Consultations

A consultant will observe each of the classes in a school followed by individual teacher meetings, a wider staff meeting, and a meeting with the administrative team to discuss strengths and make recommendations. An additional follow-up visit for support and questions is also scheduled.

Seminars

A consultant will travel to your school and present seminars addressing any of the subjects referred to on the overview and staff pages (music, art, literature, physical education, parent communication etc…). An additional follow-up visit for support and questions is also scheduled.

Consultation and Seminar Combination

Schools may also want to consider a combination of class consultations and seminars to address particular needs. These combinations are also structured with a follow-up day for support and questions later in the year.


Making It All Work

Four-day consultation that addresses classroom management, parent communication, and character development in the classroom. This program begins with three days of presentations and discussion of these topics with a fourth day scheduled later in the year for support and questions. The same consultant will conduct both parts of this program offering participants crucial continuity of information and advice. Attendance at these sessions will help teachers and schools move from survive to thrive. Little can be accomplished without sufficient skills in each of these three domains.


Fees

Learning in the realm of professional development requires support, repetition, and consistency. Fees have been structured to encourage this level of commitment.
