Professional Learning & Capacity Building
SUPPORTING SCHOOL LEADERS, TEACHERS & PARENTS
CEI’s PROFESSIONAL LEARNING & CAPACITY BUILDING program offers customized support to school leaders, teachers and parents to improve school climate, student engagement and student achievement. CEI collaborates with teachers and school leaders to refine and adapt leadership skills and instructional practice. Our consultants build educator capacity to improve student outcomes through job-embedded coaching, mentoring, workshops, conferences, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and institutes. All professional learning support can be adapted for instructional practice for in-person, hybrid, and remote learning.
CEI has an extensive field team of consultants in all aspects of public education, including curriculum and instruction, culturally responsive teaching, social emotional learning (SEL), school leadership, scheduling, budgeting, facilities development, and parent/family engagement. Consultants partner with educators to adopt and adapt effective practices to serve all K-12 student populations. CTLE credit is available for PD Workshops.
