Professional Development for Teachers and Leaders

Teacher practice is refined through ongoing structured collaboration among teachers within the school system.

We offer professional learning sessions to deepen teacher knowledge of pedagogy and content and to guide district leaders to effectively support their teachers. 

Research shows that good teaching can be learned, so our professional development protocols help you create district structures that facilitate and sustain ongoing learning.

Working Together to Achieve Your Goals

You already know that building your education system’s capacity takes more than new resources or individual professional learning—it requires aligned effort at every level of the system.

The Dana Center collaborates with you to implement integrated strategies for improvement. Our resources and services are grounded in research and two decades of experience working with U.S. education systems at the state, regional, district, and school level to strengthen and align local practices to improve student achievement.

The Dana Center/Agile Mind programs, authored by the Dana Center and delivered via the web in collaboration with educational technology company Agile Mind, Inc., are designed for a blended model of instruction.

Each program encompasses teacher professional development and support, classroom instruction, practice and homework, formative assessment, embedded test prep, and real-time reporting on student effort and performance.
