Professional staff
development from 21st Century Schools is not the typical
"sit and get" "lecture" format usually encountered. We
frequently hear comments that our workshops are like none
others participants have experienced, that they received
more information than other workshops provided, and that the
entire experience was not only one of intensive learning but
was also energizing and fun!
We practice what we teach.
Research has firmly established that learning occurs at
highest levels when students teach others and make immediate
use of their learning. This is how we teach educators
to design and deliver curriculum, structure the learning
environment AND it is what you will experience in our
professional development.
Click here to see a video made about a workshop we
facilitated in Paducah, Kentucky. Our workshops are
student-centered, so you will only see the participants, not
the facilitator.

Curriculum Design
- allow consultants at
21st Century Schools to assist you in designing and
developing curriculum for your district and campuses. We
will work with teachers, administrators and parents as you
design and align your district/campus curriculum -
vertically, horizontally and globally - to meet the needs of
your students for the new millennium.
Vertical Alignment
-
addressing the flow of the curriculum in a PreK-12
perspective.
Horizontal Alignment -
addressing the flow of the curriculum across disciplines
within grade levels.
Globally Balanced
-
aligning the curriculum into a meaningful and complete
whole which not only meets state and national standards,
but is connected to the community as our society
undergoes rapid changes due to the phenomena of
technology, media and globalization in all aspects of
life.
