| Educators in America's Choice schools receive extensive training in our design and substantial on-going assistance in implementing the design. |
|
| Off-Site Professional Development |
| Principals and Design Coaches participate in regional academies and networks to strengthen their understanding of the America's Choice model and their ability to lead its implementation. |
|
| Primary and Upper Elementary Coaches and Math Lead Teachers attend off-site institutes that focus on the America's Choice standards-based approach to teaching and learning. |
|
| One of the primary roles of the America's Choice coaches is to create model classrooms that become the focal point for professional development in their schools. |
|
| On-Site Professional Development |
| At the school, staff take part in Whole Faculty Workshops in which the whole faculty is provided overviews of the design, Study Groups that focus on the substance of the America's Choice curriculum and Teacher Meetings that concentrate on particular issues related to the implementation of the design. |
|
| Critical to this work are Cluster Leaders, distinguished educators that are part of the America's Choice staff who make follow-up visits to our schools to support what is taught in the institutes. |
