How do you create a true learning partnership between educators and students in your classroom, school, or district? How do you harness student voice, engagement, and efficacy, to empower every learner across identities such as race, income, ability, language, mental health, gender, sexual orientation, or immigration status, to achieve at higher levels?
The WOW professional development series, sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, was created to deepen understanding and develop continual improvement strategies around Educator Effectiveness. School-based teams of 4–12 educators are invited to join us for four full days of high-impact professional learning featuring nationally recognized experts. The days are spread out across the school year and held at your local CESA.
WOW offers educator teams guidance and support as they dig in to “work on the work,” analyze relevant data, and develop new strategies to meet the needs of all learners. WOW professional development 1) is tailored to meet your local needs; 2) maximizes Educator Effectiveness as a process of continuous improvement; and 3) integrates with your ongoing school/district improvement strategies. All events are held at your local CESA, and REGISTRATION IS FREE!
