What to expect at LEARNING-FOCUSED Conferencing Days

Have you ever been to a training session and felt overwhelmed? You are not alone! Many teachers take back some of the information and then wish they could have a review every Conferencing Guide once in a while. This is one strength of the Conferencing solution provided by Learning-Focused. Instructional Specialists from Learning-Focused come to your school to reinforce any of the training sessions in small group or one-on-one sessions. It is similar to a review session, but better, because it is at your school with your classrooms.
 
These Conferencing days usually start with a meeting with administrators and then a quick walkthrough in the classes to view the implementation of the Learning-Focused training. This sets the focus for the meeting with the grade level teachers, specialists, and other teachers. There is a time for questions and answers, time for modeling, time for planning together or reviewing plans, as well as a time for "next steps". These next steps are the focus to strengthen the Learning-Focused implementation or the focus for the next Conferencing day(s).
