Education 2020™ Professional Development-best practices
using 21st century technology.
EDUCATION 2020 partners with schools to create a powerful
learning community focused on enhancing instruction and improving
individual student academic performance. Our education consultants
work with schools to develop a coherent implementation plan that
ties directly to district and school improvement plans. Our approach
utilizes ongoing assessments of student learning and aligns the
interventions to best practice instructional processes. Teachers
learn to use the EDUCATION 2020 system to analyze data and identify
whole-group and individual learning paths. Throughout the implementation,
school and district leadership teams monitor progress and identify
action steps to seek improvements.
Our professional development services include content-focused
collaborative learning, classroom management and implementation
design, and active learning opportunities for teachers and administrators
on subject knowledge for lasting measurable effects on student
outcomes.
