Professional Development into Community Development

Professional development can be as simple as a one-day presentation/workshop to inspire faculty and support them as they learn to implement new, effective, and research-based classroom strategies. Or it can be as extensive as multi-year,on-going collaborative guidance for an entire school district including: development of professional learning communities; creation of student-centered classrooms and schools; and generating assessments that motivate, support, and nurture all learners. The Engaging Learners team is also experienced in interfacing with parents, turning professional development into community development!
