Custom Professional Development
The Best Practice Framework provides a powerful tool for combining various district-wide initiatives into a coherent improvement plan. We can design a customized professional development program that ties our JFTK School Services with your other district-wide initiatives. Previous client districts have used this service to provide targeted assistance to schools with significant needs, or in a particular feeder pattern, in order to develop common language and a common lens through which these schools approach their school improvement work.
