Instructional Learning Labs

Description

Are you tired of professional development that ends the moment the presentation stops?

As school leaders, we know the struggle: We spend budget and time on workshops, but struggle to see the transfer to the classroom. We know our teachers are the best experts in the building, yet they rarely get the chance to learn from one another.

Enter the Instructional Learning Labs.

This is not another evaluation tool. It is a complete, turn-key framework that turns your classrooms into collaborative laboratories for growth. By shifting the focus from “judging the teacher” to “solving the problem,” this process empowers your staff to define their own Problems of Practice, observe their peers with purpose, and implement high-leverage strategies immediately.

Inside the Toolkit:
This comprehensive package provides everything a principal or instructional coach needs to launch, facilitate, and sustain cohort-based coaching cycles:

• The Launch Framework: Step-by-step slide decks to roll out the initiative and build immediate psychological safety.

• Team-Building Protocols: High-engagement activities like “Hopes & Worries” to foster deep trust within cohorts.

• Observation & Debrief Tools: Structured, non-evaluative observation forms focusing on low-inference data and actionable takeaways.

The Result? A culture where doors are open, practice is deprivatized, and teachers own their professional growth. Stop guessing what works and start building your school’s Instructional Playbook today.
