Institutes

Best Practices Institutes draw thousands of educators nationwide to learn evidence-based best practices. Instead of 90-minute sessions of research and theory, Best Practices Institutes provide a stimulating, hands-on environment of professional development that digs deep into interventions that empower educators and administrators with the ability to advance student achievement. In an extended format of one-, two-, and half-day workshops, attendees interact with education leaders and colleagues to learn, practice, and implement evidence-based models of leadership and instruction.
