Professional
development is a large component of Total Learning, because
teacher quality is an enormous predictor of student success.
While professional development is best done in active workshops
and embedded coaching experiences, the materials in this section
will reinforce and enhance experiences for Pre-K to 8th grade
teachers. Give these rich, multi-modal activities a try and
watch students come to life as they learn deeply.
