Most teachers across the country have experienced struggles with student engagement or at the very least have wondered how they could get their students to take more ownership over their learning. This training provides teachers and instructional coaches with an understanding of engagement including the cognitive barriers to engagement.

It’s easy to say that scaffolds support learning. But what type of scaffolds are most effective and when should they be used? The sweet spot for learning involves providing students the right blend of productive failure and productive success, and there are over 3000 studies of scaffolding that guide the essential moves and methods teachers can use to ensure that the scaffolds they use are effective rather than counterproductive or even harmful.

This two-day certification is designed to equip you with the knowledge and techniques that will enable you deliver effective Leadership trainings in your school system. Credible leaders know where they are going. They have a vision, shared with various members of the school community, that includes plans and steps for getting there. They exude the sense of a positive future, even if they do not establish all the goals and metrics for success. This certification will focus on how leadership works best for instructional leaders by emphasizing the essential mindframes and research to effectively lead teaching, learning and change.

Restorative practices are an alternative to punitive approaches to classroom management. These practices humanize the schooling experience and allow individuals who cause harm to make amends. Restorative practices rely on strong relationships as well as clear systems and procedures to ensure that harm is addressed. The impact is increased equity for BIPOC students as well as a reduction in exclusionary practices such as suspension and expulsion. But as importantly, students change their behavior as they come to understand the impact that it has.

Corwin’s PLC+ Institute provides a practical and evidence-based framework to support collaborative structures which support planning and implementation of student learning, as well as professional learning (e.g. microteaching, classroom observations) of the teachers and teacher leaders.

Your days, weeks, months, semester, and year are jammed full of responsibilities as an educator. With very little down time, we must ensure that what we do in our schools and classrooms and how we do what we do in our schools and classrooms is both effective and efficient. This includes the giving and receiving of feedback. In fact, feedback is the one area that can cause the greatest strain on us as educators. While we may acknowledge and believe that feedback is an important and essential part of the learning process, we are confronted with challenges in the giving and receiving of feedback in our own classrooms.
