Summer Institutes



 

Designing and Delivering the Ultimate 21st Century Curriculum   

Designing effective, quality curriculum and instruction takes time, research, writing, designing, implementation, evaluation, follow-up and continued support.  As a participant at a recent workshop put it, “You can’t rush a ripening raspberry!”   

Summer is the best time to offer your staff professional development!   Participants are free to focus on the tasks at hand, and do not have to worry about distractions back at their district, campus or classrooms.  There is ample time to fully prepare for a confident, strong start to the new school year. 

 

Our workshops provide you with many valuable tools for designing and implementing curriculum and classroom strategies to support that curriculum.  The workshop facilitators assist and support you and your teams in developing a curriculum that means something to you, to your school and that works with the unique resources and needs of your community. 

Even with this valuable experience, if you desire sustained change and continuous improvement, you are going to need ongoing support.  Therefore, 21st Century Schools is proud to announce its new Summer Institutes which include:
