Balancing system needs and teacher needs…the ultimate juggling act that never seems to have a clear solution. 

Professional learning (PL) is needed to successfully implement a range of teaching and learning initiatives driven by the state and your district. In order to successfully carry out lasting system-wide improvements, you have to rely on professional learning. 

The opposite side of this coin is teachers who are exhausted, short on time, and feel as if PL has become an empty activity of compliance that isn’t relevant and rarely helps move the needle in improving professional practice. 

The question remains then, how do you balance carrying out system initiatives in a way that supports teachers and respects the boundaries they’ve set? 

The answer...

You provide Teachers time, relevant support, and choice to be fully engaged in improving their practice and solving the most pressing classroom challenges. 

If you’re looking for quick hacks teachers can add to their toolbox, plug & play templates, and techniques that will ‘dramatically change classrooms overnight’, we’re definitely going to disappoint you. 

We love fairies and unicorns as much as the next person, but quick fixes don't bring about authentic systems of learning. 

Or if you’re looking for one size fits all PL that provides your staff with band-aid solutions rather than support that is narrowly focused and deep, take a hard pass on this Institute. 

No judgment — seriously. We’re all friends here, and we want to respect your time and attention.

If you’re still with us, let’s talk about what the Summer Learning Institute is. 

Differentiated, go at your own pace, job-embedded professional learning to increase educator effectiveness and improve student learning outcomes.
