Leading for Teacher Professional Learning

CEL works with school leaders and school system leaders to foster, sponsor, and sustain high quality professional learning opportunities for your teachers that are tied directly to the opportunities you identify for your students. Support from CEL will develop leaders’ ability to set conditions for teachers to learn and improve together.

5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning™

The 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning™ (5D) is a research-based instructional framework composed of the core elements that constitute high-quality teaching. CEL provides contextualized professional learning to build powerful understanding of the 5 Dimensions and how to apply them in support of improving instruction: Purpose, Student Engagement, Curriculum and Pedagogy, Assessment for Student Learning, and Classroom Environment and Culture.

Teacher Learning for Mathematics and Literacy Instruction

CEL provides workshops and studios in your school or system so that teachers, coaches, school leaders, and system leaders are supported to create powerful learning opportunities for all of your students. CEL co-creates professional learning opportunities in which teachers develop the needed content pedagogical knowledge and apply that knowledge to daily problem-solving in lesson design, moment-to-moment classroom instruction and assessment for students with diverse learning profiles. Leaders learn how to support, sustain and expand this learning to other teachers.

Developing Instructional Coaches and Teacher Leaders

CEL provides job-embedded professional learning for instructional coaches and teacher leaders to serve as dynamic partners in school and system improvement. Support from CEL will promote growth in coaching knowledge and skill, content and instructional knowledge, and inquiry-based collaboration.

Needs Assessments

CEL conducts comprehensive needs assessments on behalf of schools and districts engaged in improvement. Using the 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning™ and the 4 Dimensions of Instructional Leadership™ frameworks, we collaborate closely with school teams to gather and analyze data, identify a school’s strengths and develop areas for growth in order to help you chart a path to equitable student experiences and outcomes.
