Effective teaching is a complex but critical endeavor. During this 2-Day Workshop, the presenter arms educators of all levels—from teachers to superintendents and principals—with tools and strategies to improve their practice.

Participants will gain practical applications and strategies that they can use in the classroom to improve student achievement.

Discussion and learning will focus on the importance of a common language for talking about instruction and a framework for effective teaching using the New Art and Science of Teaching framework as an example, which provides teachers with research-based strategies they can use in their classrooms.

Join us for two days filled with learning, growth, and collaboration.
