Professional Growth is Essential for School Improvement

The days of meaningless "staff development" are (thankfully) behind us.  Today, professional learning is a high cost activity with high stakes implications.  Changes in both content and pedagogy occur rapidly, and teachers may be asked to handle unfamiliar assignments.  In today's educational environment, understandng whether and how your professional learning programs are affecting your bottom line - student academic achievement - is essential. 

TFLGroup offers a wide range of approaches to evaluating professional learning programs, using action research and existing school and district data as much as possible to keep costs at a minimum.  We would be pleased to discuss your specific needs and work with you to meet them.

Examples of services we offer to help schools and districts improve professional learning include:

• Evaluating the impact of district and school professional learning activities on teacher effectiveness and student academic achievement
• Researching the comparative effectiveness of commercial professional learning programs, to help districts and schools make wise purchasing decisions
