What Format Fits Your District Needs?

There is no “one size fits all” in education. Just as students bring differing needs to the classroom, schools and staff bring a variety of needs to professional development. Partner in Education provides administrative mentoring and consulting in the areas of assessment, curriculum development, planning for change, and implementing action plans.

Additionally, our consultants work with teachers in a wide variety of staff development venues–from large group presentations to small group professional learning communities, from coaching one-on-one to presenting classroom demonstrations authentically based in real-time curriculum.

Our approach: to scaffold professional learning while building school capacity. Our goal: to improve teaching and learning by
implementing customized, relevant professional development.
