Virtual Learning

What is it?

A series of webinars with school/district-specific follow-up (using any platform that your district currently uses:  Zoom, Google Meet, GoToWebinar, etc.).  Each webinar is 60, 90, or 120 minutes long, and delivered in an engaging, brain-based manner to ensure buy-in and transfer of the strategies in the classroom.  These trainings can be a full day with several built-in processing times and breaks or multi-day with follow-up assignments.

Who’s it for?

Teachers, Coaches, Administrators, and other Leaders in Schools

What are the topics?

See below for a list of some of the Virtual Learning Topics! (LeAnn has more options – just ask her)

How can it be customized to meet our needs?

You can choose one, combine a couple (I’ll ensure connections and fluency), or create a sequence of webinars across a time period.  A phone conference will precede the virtual learning to ensure it’s designed to fit your student, grade-level (PreK-12) and teacher needs.  All webinars are based on your current learning platform (packets, virtual, or project-based).

How can follow-up be conducted? (optional but powerful)

• LeAnn will create a variety of follow-up assignment choices or Learning Tasks for the audience (based on the Learning Targets for the training). She will give feedback towards those tasks (just an option to enhance transfer).
• Question and Answer Time with LeAnn

Email LeAnn and she will create a custom quote for your school!

What is it?

Training, coaching and consulting done virtually (or in person when your district is ready).  Sessions are co-designed based on student needs, data and past teacher training/growth, and time availability.  All sessions are delivered in an engaging, brain-based manner to ensure buy-in and transfer of the strategies in the classroom.

Who’s it for?

Priority, Focus, and/or Title I Schools that Need Drastic Improvement in Student Learning (Teachers, Coaches, Administrators, and other Leaders in Schools)

How can it be customized to meet our needs?

This entire path is highly customized based on the school’s unique background, data, and goals.  At a base level, it is designed to fit your student, grade-level (PreK-12) and teacher needs, along with conforming to your current learning platform (packets, virtual, or project-based).  Beyond that, it uses a proprietary process titled “Sustained Professional Development to Maximize Learning” that looks like this:
