Have you found sending one or two teachers from a team to a conference or one per grade level to a conference only to realize that those particular teachers are the ones that benefit? Have you considered having labsites or model classrooms within your building so that teachers can learn from and support each other? Join our presentation to hear about how using model classrooms and labsites has enhanced our teachers' capacity in both literacy and special education inclusion in the general education classroom. We will share applicable ways to redesign schedules, protocols that get teachers talking to each other, and most importantly real examples of how using teacher leaders for professional learning elevates the entire building and enhances the quality of learning for all students.
