A regional cohort, hosted at your school.
From what we've seen, sending one teacher to a conference rarely shifts a whole program. Bringing fifteen regional schools together — each with a 10-person team — tends to. If you have the space, we'll bring the rest. The host school's team attends free.
Team-based PD tends to outlast individual PD.
In our experience, the most useful professional development happens when a team works on the same problem together. One teacher coming back from a conference might bring back an idea. A 10-person team — teachers, counselors, admin, support staff — comes back ready to actually shift a program.
10 members per school
Each participating school sends a team of ten — usually some mix of teachers, counselors, support staff, and at least one administrator. Strands run for each role.
15 schools per conference
Up to 15 area schools come together. Teams plan together, network across schools, and leave with shared language and a regional support system.
