Educator Professional Development

Feedback is an essential element of student engagement, performance, and overall success; however, many educators struggle with providing effective feedback that results in student improvement. The CRAFT Protocol comprises four key questions designed to promote reflective practices, including student self-assessment and ownership.

Addressing student behavior, mental health, and academic performance is a tall order for educators nationwide. To effectively address students' academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs without increasing the workload of educators, integration of core social and emotional learning competencies within academic content is key. SEL Integration for Student Success identifies the core competencies of SEL, how they align with academic content, and how SEL integration improves student engagement and progress toward learning mastery.

Data and documentation are two of the best ways to gauge student progress toward learning mastery, yet few educators are guided to obtain and analyze student data to drive instructional improvements, communication with students, and collaboration with families. The Power of Data & Documentation outlines data types, how to analyze and interpret data, and the role of documentation for students and their families.

One of the most important relationships and educator can have in the school community is the relationship between them and the families of the students they serve. A common pain point reported by parents and guardians is inconsistent or a lack of communication from their child’ teacher, beyond reporting disciplinary issues. Collaborative Home-School Connection guides educators to establish and maintain meaningful, mutually beneficial home-school connections to improve student outcomes.
