Elementary Principals, no one knows your school better than you do. You’ve spent countless hours getting to know your staff. You know who turns their lesson plans in early and who might need a gentle nudge. You understand their personalities, preferences, successes, and challenges. This deep understanding makes you the best person to facilitate the professional development (PD) for your staff. We know that teacher PD ultimately supports your students as they learn to become literate, critical thinkers. But let’s just say it—relying on district PD can feel like fitting a square peg into a round hole. It sometimes misses the unique needs of your teachers students and families, which is why many teachers end up hating PD. It’s time to change that. Have you created a PD plan for the upcoming school year? If you’ve never created a PD plan focused on literacy and don’t know where to start, join us for a Masterclass - How to Get Teacher Buy-In to Literacy PD - Even If They Hate PD. You can have PD that fits the needs of your teachers and students. We’ll help you get there. 📅 When: July 29th at 5:30 PM CST 📍 Where: Zoom 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gy_gKmwh Let’s work on this together. #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #SchoolLeadership #Edchat #Education #Edreform #Principal #Learning #LiteracyMatters

Principals, we know how it feels when professional development sessions don’t connect with your teachers. It’s like hitting a brick wall. There may be just a little tweak that you need to make things better in your building. The Literacy Leader's 90-Day Differentiated PD Plan is here to help you turn things around. This plan is designed to get teachers involved in the decision-making process, making PD relevant and engaging. When teachers have a say in what’s implemented, they’re more invested and motivated to apply what they learn. Picture your school where PD sessions are something teachers don’t want to avoid.  When the PD session starts, they already feel valued and empowered because they know the training meets their needs and those of their students. 🌟 Our plan covers school-wide goals and the individual goals of the teachers, creating a supportive and effective learning community. Let’s make this school year the best one yet by changing your approach to PD. Ready to see the change? We know you will because we saw it in our own schools with our own eyes.

Why did we create The Literacy Leader's 90-Day Differentiated PD Plan? Because we believe in empowering teachers to meet their students’ needs. This is what good principals do. We hear the frustrations. Teachers are continually sharing on social media that PD sessions don't align with what they or their students need. It's not that they don't want to learn new skills; it’s that the current PD isn’t helping, making it feel like a waste of time. What we really want to do is help you change professional development into something truly impactful at your school. Professional development should sharpen teachers' skills so they can meet the many diverse needs of their students. Personalized PD for teachers is as important as differentiated instruction for students. You wouldn’t expect a teacher to teach class without differentiated instruction. Well, the same goes for the principal. You have to differentiate PD. In our schools, when we did this we saw amazing results. Teachers valued feedback from their peers, felt respected by having input on their choice of strategies, and appreciated how the PD was tied directly to their instructional practice. We saw the strategies being presented to the students in the classrooms, enhancing their learning experience. If your students are struggling with literacy and you want professional development that focuses on instructional practice—pinpointing effective teaching strategies and offering support for applying them in the classroom—this is your solution.

"Picture a child, full of curiosity and enthusiasm, yet feeling like an outsider in their own classroom. This is the harsh reality for many students who are marginalized, excluded, or simply don't feel seen. As educators, we have the power to change this narrative. By creating an inclusive classroom environment, we can transform lives and shape the future. But, the truth is, many teachers and school leaders are unsure of where to start. They want to create a welcoming space, but lack the tools and confidence to make it happen. That is why we are hosting an online training on "Creating an Inclusive Classroom Environment". Join us to learn practical strategies, share experiences, and connect with like-minded educators who are passionate about creating a sense of belonging for ALL students.

As school administrators, we have the power to make a lasting impact on our educators. One way to truly appreciate and recognize their hard work is by celebrating their stories and contributions to student success. ✨Here’s a simple yet powerful tip: Feature one educator each week throughout November, highlighting their inspiring story, dedication, and the positive impact they have on students. Not only does this boost teacher morale, but it also creates a culture of recognition that can inspire others. By shining a spotlight on educators, we show them that their efforts are valued and appreciated. Take the time to acknowledge their commitment to make a difference! #TeacherAppreciation #SchoolLeadership #EducatorImpact #GratitudeInEducation #SpringfieldLearning
