Customized Professional Learning:

> Learning Walks
   Learning walks offer a fresh perspective on the teaching and student learning happening in your building.
    A trained team of CEIE staff members spends a day in your school gathering data around a specific area
   of focus selected by your leadership team. The focused feedback, if used effectively, can paint a picture
   to inform and shape continued improvement efforts for student outcomes.

>Power Standard Development
   Unlock the mystery of success on standardized tests! Power Standard Development is a three-day
   workshop focusing on instructional practices in your classrooms. This process identifies the specific
   needs of a content area and grade-level, and guides a team of your teachers through the development of
   each component of the model. Available for use in any content area, grades 3-12.

>School Improvement Workshop
    This one-day workshop is designed to support your school in the development, design and revision of
    school improvement plans.
