Develop a collaborative professional culture to support student-centered teaching and learning.
Focus Area
Pave the way for your leaders to support collaborative professional learning practices throughout your district by providing executive training through strategic phases of implementation. Plan for success by aligning leaders to district goals, track progress with meaningful data, and establish effective Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Together, we can support this change across your district.
Leaders will be paired with an online coach of their own to learn new strategies and practice the skills they’ll need to make positive changes for teachers. Using the Try-Measure-Learn approach, BetterLesson coaches provide personalized guidance so that principals can try out new practices, measure their impact on teachers, and build a plan for continuous improvement.
Leaders build their capacity to enact changes by understanding what success looks like in the classroom and use data to make informed professional learning decisions. Learning Walks are a non-evaluative collaborative experience that brings leaders together to observe classrooms, acknowledge student-centered practices, and create a tailored learning plan to support teachers.
Understand metrics to measure success in your schools, cultivate a supportive culture for teachers to achieve target outcomes, and build your ongoing learning plan for continuous improvement. Together, we’ll identify what Professional Learning Communities look like in your district.
Measurable outcomes connect each BetterLesson learning experience. Each outcome makes changes in practice tangible and impactful for leaders. For the Professional Learning Communities focus area, we focus on helping educational leaders achieve the below outcomes.

The typical arc to implement a change in practice can be one to three years, depending on your district’s area of focus and size. Our comprehensive learning plans incorporate in-person, virtual, group, and self-directed learning experiences throughout the full school year, creating scaffolds of support aligned with how adult learners actually learn. Our team will create a learning plan that is tailored to your district’s strategic plan, and includes a mix of learning experiences backed by research and focused on target outcomes.
