Educators Professional Development

Teacher-led. Classroom-tested. Results-focused—and Informed by Student Feedback.
Transformative professional development, available online and in person, designed and delivered by expert educators who understand the realities of today’s classrooms.

Our professional developments are built for real instruction: practical, sustainable, and immediately usable. Every offering is grounded in research-informed best practices, refined through authentic classroom implementation, and strengthened by measured student feedback.

What Makes Our PD Different

Grounded in real classroom feedback

Our professional development doesn’t stop with teacher participation. After implementation, students provide structured, measurable feedback on the strategies introduced during PD. Student voice focuses on:

  • Engagement and participation

  • Clarity of instruction

  • Effectiveness of learning activities

  • Perceived impact on understanding and confidence

This feedback loop—rarely included in professional learning—helps refine implementation and strengthens the connection between PD, instruction, and learning outcomes.

Educator PD Offerings

1. Signature Instructional PD: From Day-One Speaking to Deep Discourse

Ping-Pong™ → Script-to-Scaffold™

Our flagship training connects two powerful, classroom-proven strategies:

Ping-Pong™ (Guided Question–Response Recycling)
A high-success structured oral interaction technique that enables immediate student participation through scaffolded questioning and recycled language. By lowering cognitive load and providing built-in success, the strategy reduces anxiety, increases engagement, builds confidence, and supports durable, transferable memorization.

Script-to-Scaffold™
A research-based, experiential instructional strategy that transforms dialogue into a multimodal learning tool through structured interaction, role-play, and gradual release of responsibility. Teachers learn how to design and scaffold academic dialogue across disciplines while maintaining accessibility and rigor for diverse learners.

Together, these strategies create a clear pathway from supported participation to independent academic discourse, supporting engagement, language development, and deep learning across World Languages, ELA, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and interdisciplinary contexts.

2. High-Impact Professional Learning Priorities

In addition to our signature discourse training, we offer in-demand professional developments aligned to current school and district priorities, including:

  • UDL & Differentiation that preserves rigor (practical scaffolds, access points, and inclusive participation)

  • MTSS in the classroom (Tier 1 strengthening and Tier 2 supports without removing students from inclusive environments)

  • Student engagement systems that work (structures that increase participation, accountability, and belonging)

  • Academic discourse across content areas (student talk moves, collaborative protocols, and structured discussion)

  • Project-Based Learning supports (collaboration, language frames, roles, and performance-based outcomes)

  • Assessment, feedback, and student self-efficacy (rubrics, self-reflection, and growth-focused evaluation)

  • Responsible AI for teachers (ethical, teacher-guided uses of AI for planning, differentiation, and accessibility)

All topics are designed to be classroom-ready, adaptable to your curriculum, and respectful of teacher time.

3. Built to Score Highly on Danielson & Marzano

Our PD is intentionally designed to support observable, high-impact instructional practices that align with widely used evaluation frameworks.

Danielson-aligned outcomes commonly strengthened through our PD include:

  • Clear lesson structure, purpose, and expectations

  • Student engagement in learning and meaningful tasks

  • Questioning and discussion techniques that increase student thinking

  • Differentiation and support for diverse learners

  • Checks for understanding, feedback, and evidence of learning

  • Positive classroom culture, respect, and student ownership

Marzano-aligned outcomes commonly strengthened through our PD include:

  • Effective teacher-student and student-student interaction

  • Explicit instruction with gradual release and guided practice

  • Cognitive engagement and higher-order thinking routines

  • Monitoring progress, providing feedback, and adjusting instruction

  • Structures that increase participation, pacing, and clarity

  • Strategies that improve student motivation and responsibility

We don’t “teach to the framework.” We strengthen the instructional moves that frameworks consistently reward.

Teacher-led expertise

Our sessions are designed and facilitated by practicing educators with deep instructional credibility, because the most relevant professional learning is led by those who teach.

Classroom-proven, not “sit-and-get”

Every PD is active and experiential. Participants experience strategy modeling, guided practice, collaboration, and immediate application to their own curriculum.

Built for real implementation

Teachers leave with practical tools they can use right away, including:

  • Implementation guides and planning templates

  • Strategy toolkits and classroom-ready protocols

  • Differentiation supports for multilingual learners and inclusive classrooms

  • Optional AI-supported planning tools aligned to responsible practice

What Participants Can Expect

  • Clear modeling of strategies in action

  • Structured planning time to adapt for their students and content

  • Practical pacing, launch routines, and implementation steps

  • Support for differentiation, multilingual learners, and inclusive classrooms

  • Professional learning that respects teacher autonomy and time

PD Options

We offer professional development experiences that can be delivered on site or online with the same level of engagement and interaction:

  • Single workshops

  • Multi-session series

  • School-based pilots

  • District implementation support

  • Ongoing coaching and sustainability plans (optional)
