Professional Learning Workshops

Using the SCALE Immersion Model for Professional Learning, we will examine our existing beliefs and practices before engaging in a shared learning experience that models research-based pedagogical strategies and techniques. We will then reflect on our experience by returning to our previous thinking and consider implications for classroom practice.

Curriculum Consulting & Development

Together we will develop units of study that inspires students to ask questions and search for answers. Suggested topics:

  • ecosystem dynamics

  • evolution & adaptation

  • investigation design

  • genetics, heredity & reproduction

  • obtaining & evaluating resources

  • science & literacy integration

  • biomimicry & biodesign

Certified NSRF Coach

Would you like assistance building a Professional Learning Community, or do you need a meeting facilitator? Let me help.

Critical Friends Group (CFG) Coaches are certified by the National School Reform Faculty (NSRF) and trained to use NSRF collaboration tools called “protocols” mindfully. These tools allow all CFG members’ voices to be heard and honored as they give non-judgmental, but open and honest feedback to one another, resulting in accomplishing great things in short periods of time. - https://nsrfharmony.org/

What is “professional learning,” really?

Professional learning is not just a collection of instant recipes and kits to sell. It’s taking the time to dig deeply into evolving research about education and the freedom to create, thereby opening new avenues and perspectives on teaching and learning. Every teaching experience is a learning experience, and every learning experience helps us grow into better teachers.
