Teacher EffectivenessDeveloping effective PD programs drives sustainable success. ASCD proven solutions include classroom culture and management, standard-based instruction, instructional grouping and transitions, differentiated instruction, formative assessment, student engagement, questioning and discussion techniques, technology integration, and student-centered learning.
Standards Implementation Common Core State Standards and jurisdictional College and Career Readiness Standards require substantive redesign of school programs to succeed. ASCD Standards Implementation Programs assist districts in the transition to, implementation of, and assessment of new rigorous content standards.
Data-Informed Professional DevelopmentMany new policies and practices have prompted the need to design PD programs for educators that analyze data from teacher observations, teacher evaluation models, and student achievement data. With ASCD expertise, you can achieve a customized approach to professional learning that meets the needs of teachers, schools, and systems.
Leadership DevelopmentAssess your current leadership practices and create a customized leadership development program for your school, district, and system leaders. ASCD’s award-winning instructional leadership veterans are matched with the needs of leaders in any school community to drive measurable improvement.
Systemic and School ImprovementGrowing educational systems based on the continuous improvement model is a major driver of systemwide and individual school success. ASCD school-improvement experts collaborate with school leader-ship to assess the opportunity of using multiple data inputs; design a customized plan to leverage high-impact, research-based practices; and, build capacity for implementing the plan, measuring results and sustaining changes.
Classroom InstructionThe quality of the classroom teacher is the most important factor in predicting student success. ASCD’s faculty experts develop custom-ized programs to build the capacity of teachers and leaders in all aspects of research-based classroom instruction practices for every grade level, content area, and specialty area.
