FOUNDATIONS OF TEACHING SPRINTS FACE-TO-FACE 2022

This dynamic workshop provides system, school, middle and teacher leaders with a thorough understanding of the Teaching Sprints approach to research-informed practice improvement. Numerous research studies confirm that teaching quality has the largest in-school influence on student learning, and that high-quality professional learning can lead to improvements in student achievement. Teaching Sprints provides a practical and collaborative approach to enable teachers to develop evidence-informed teaching strategies in order to support effective student learning.
In this practical workshop, leaders will be introduced to the Teaching Sprints approach, process and tools, and leave equipped with the knowledge of what makes for successful team and school implementation.
