On-site coaching available to embed practices learned from series into instructional routines.  The impact of training on outcomes and changing practice is well documented.  “To put ideas…into action requires having an intention to change, having knowledge of what successful change would look like, and having a safe opportunity to trial any new teaching methods. This often requires some specific coaching.”  J. Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers, pg. 64.
Joyce and Showers (1995) showed the powerful impact of coaching in comparison with other methods for raising understanding, skill attainment, and application of new skills (table below).

On-site follow-up coaching for teams of teachers available at $200/2 hour coaching session.
