creating a
better education

Training describes the formal, ongoing efforts that are made within organizations to improve the performance and self-fulfillment of their employees through a variety of educational methods and programs. Our Trainers will provide a broad range of applications; from instruction in highly specific job skills to long-term professional development which will comprise with distinctive theories and methodologies.

Our Trainers will develop the training programs using various Instructional Design models for the development of training programs to guarantee that the training program selected is necessary, valid, and effective. The instructional design process includes the collection of data on the tasks or skills to be learned or improved, the analysis of these skills and tasks, the development of methods and materials, delivery of the program, and finally the evaluation of the training’s effectiveness.

Professional development is defined as “The process of improving staff skills and competencies needed to produce outstanding educational results for students” (Hassel, 1999). As Thomas Guskey (2000, p.4) states, “One constant finding in the research literature is that notable improvements in education almost never take place in the absence of professional development.” Professional development is key to meeting today’s educational demands.

Consequently, the Coach will facilitate teacher teams that will reflect on practice, analysis of data, and review student work to assess and plan individual learning plants to successfully work toward improving student outcomes.
