Professional Learning Courses & Opportunities
All courses are available in self-paced, blended, or private group options.
FRAMEWORK FOR TEACHING: A COMMON VISION FOR INSTRUCTIONAL EXCELLENCE
Participants will have the opportunity to draw connections between the Framework and their own practice as we focus on putting the Framework to work as the centerpiece of a learning culture and teacher-directed inquiry.
TALK ABOUT TEACHING: GROWTH-FOCUSED OBSERVATION & FEEDBACK
Participants will have the opportunity to dig into the Framework for Teaching rubrics and focus on the foundational skills needed to support a culture of adult learning and growth in schools
STUDENT INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT
Participants will learn the importance of knowing and valuing students, modeling mindsets for learning, and enhancing learning experiences through social and emotional development and academics.
CALIBRATION ASSESSMENT
Participants will build towards three skills: Collecting objective evidence; Aligning evidence of practice to the components of the Framework for Teaching; and Assessing practice using the Framework for Teaching Rubrics. This course is designed to assess your proficiency in these three important skills needed by observers of classroom practice to conduct observations that are focused on teacher growth.
CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Participants will be led through a step-by-step process highlighting the mechanics of effective PLCs that can be tailored to their own context. This also pushes you to reflect on how PLCs are situated within a greater Professional Learning System and a culture that supports it.
CUSTOMIZED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OFFERINGS
Based on various aspects of the Framework, sessions can be developed and delivered through the year to address identified needs and interests of teachers on an as-needed basis to assist with specific areas of teacher growth and development.
Our Impact
As a result of partnering with the Danielson Group, instructional leaders improve their ability to establish and sustain a system and culture of professional learning where teachers engage in powerful reflection, collaboration, and coaching, ultimately leading to more effective classroom practice in at least 10% of schools across the country.
