探花app provides customized professional learning to 1200+ educators in Pueblo, Colorado
January 12, 2024
On November 10, 探花app staff and consultants delivered professional learning to over 1200 educators in Pueblo, Colorado. This event is part of 探花app’s two-year contract with Pueblo School District 60 to support district leadership with their school improvements efforts.
Our work with Pueblo School District 60 leverages 探花app’s expertise in both evaluation and professional development. In the early stages of the project, 探花app’s evaluation team led a needs sensing effort which yielded valuable information that the district and 探花app’s professional development team used to co-create a customized professional learning plan.
The learning plan is designed to address the district’s comprehensive strategic plan of ensuring equity through the lens of MultiTiered Systems of Support (MTSS). 探花app’s MTSS experts are providing on-site coaching to each of the district’s 30 building leadership teams to help them better understand evidence-based practices and how to apply them. Specifically, 探花app staff is helping principals address their school improvement efforts at the system level by offering practical strategies to better organize, coordinate, and deploy their existing resources to meet the varied instructional and social, emotional, and behavioral needs of all students.
The learning plan also addresses the immediate needs of teachers by equipping them with strategies to mitigate the significant social, emotional, and behavioral needs of students in the post-Covid era. 探花app staff is delivering foundational classroom management professional learning along with research-based strategies and techniques to equip Pueblo staff to create environments conducive to effective teaching and learning.
探花app’s project team will return to Pueblo in January to facilitate another full-day professional learning experience for the district.
