Program Residency for Tech-Rich Schools
Comprehensive support for school-wide change
Teaching Matters’ Program Residency is a year-long professional development model for schools eager to combine rigorous curricula with innovative technology and expert support in the classroom. This three-prong approach to success includes: baseline assessment, onsite coaching and offsite learning experiences.
Planning and Assessment
Beginning with interviews, classroom
observations and a collection of initial
student work samples, an
assessment of a school’s current
environment will be developed to
inform ongoing school planning.
Teaching Matters will:
- Establish a baseline for ongoing
assessment
- Facilitate a school planning process
- Establish instructional goals
coordinated with the school’s
Literacy and Social Studies curriculum maps
- Create a year-long professional
development plan
Onsite Coaching
Building teacher capacity to use
technology for student achievement
is critical to 21st Century success.
Teaching Matters will:
- Provide 40 days of onsite coaching to improve writing and
social studies instruction
- Offer access to our Literacy
(Writing Matters) and Social
Studies (Voices and Choices)
programs
- Provide one-on-one mentoring
- Facilitate teacher study groups
Offsite Learning
Experience
The sharing of ideas and best
practices is an important aspect in
adult learning. Likewise, recognizing
achievement through the celebration
of student work is key to academic
success.
Teaching Matters will:
- Conduct hands-on teacher institutes
- Host culminating events for
students including a Spoken Word
event, Town Meetings and Student
Civil Rights Summits.
All units include teacher institutes and culminating events for students in addition to onsite
professional development support. Teaching Matters’ Program Residency permits participating
schools access to all Teaching Matters’ programs and associated events for students.
