The leader series provides structures, tools, and practical support to build the capacity of those leading in a changed environment. Topics address specific support elements of being a leader in the 2020-2021 school year. In addition to the three hours of series content, a supplement of three hours of independent application work will be outlined to create a total of six hours of professional development. Customize your virtual learning – sign up for one series or all three! Additional, customized support aligned to the leader series is also available upon request.

re-imagining data

How do we analyze data and continue to commit to academic growth when we don’t have state assessment data for this year? In this 3-part series, participants will explore how to leverage traditional and non-traditional data sources to identify and plan professional development needs; reexamine and set goals for student academic growth; and determine what high-impact learning (both content and process) should be targeted long term, for teacher and student learning, particularly following the COVID-19 lost instructional time.

Effective Inclusion – PLAIN and Simple
More than half of students with disabilities spend 80% or more of their time in the general education classroom, and when done well, inclusion works! Effective inclusion can result in improved academic and social-emotional outcomes for students with disabilities. But what differentiates effective inclusion support from a classroom that just happens to have two educators in it? In this virtual series, we will learn what it takes to improve outcomes for students served in inclusive environments. The series addresses 5 PLAIN components of quality inclusion and provides actionable strategies, resources, and next steps for each component. We will share a guide to assessing the PLAIN components in your district or campus and teams will leave with a priority focus for future learning.

The 5 PLAIN components are:

• PLANNING collaboratively
• LEARNING high-impact standards
• Well-designed ACCOMMODATIONS
• Informed INTERVENTIONS
• NAVIGATING instructional models
