With a quick introduction, even new teacher leaders are ready to use our Classroom Innovations protocol with their colleagues.
After an exploration of one of the included innovations, teacher leaders get the inside scoop on everything they need to know about how to use this protocol in-person and remotely with their school teams.
Classroom Innovations is a pick-your-path style professional learning community (PLC) protocol that supports teachers exploring and implementing essential innovations of next generation science. Fully self-directed and job-embedded learning that helps teachers shift their classroom culture and science implementation toward a next generation model.
Collaboration allows teachers to capture each other’s fund of collective intelligence.
