Summer Programming
Last year, FCI hosted powerful summer workshops with two preeminent development teams that earned a net promoter score of 9.8 on average. Beyond that impressive number, though, are the reflections of our participants:
-
“Many teachers would like to improve their students’ experiences but don’t know how to start. This workshop built my confidence with best practices because we actually practiced the strategies.”
-
“The past two days have created a paradigm shift for me…I’d strongly recommend this training to a colleague because it has led me to best practices that will have an impact on student achievement.”
Teach Like a Champion’s mission is to dramatically improve teaching by studying and codifying the practices of exceptional teachers and then coaching others in those practices. Their belief in the power of using “game footage” (live classroom instruction) as grounds for research and study was the first of its kind and resulted in the publication of Teach Like a Champion, a book of teaching taxonomies now in its third edition that has sold over 1.3 million copies. For many in the world of education, this book is something of a bible. (I, for one, count myself as part of this group. My copy of the original edition has deep creases down the spine, notes in the margins, pages earmarked, and that slight discoloration of pages that comes only from years of regular use.)
Here’s what we’re offering from these two fabulous facilitators this summer right here in Miami:
June 11-June 12: A two-day workshop with Leverage Leadership around frameworks for facilitating effective feedback meetings and student work analysis meetings
July 30: A one-day workshop with Teach Like a Champion focused on establishing strong classroom cultures that pave the way for student achievement
July 31-August 1: A two-day workshop with Teach Like a Champion on high ratio instructional practices that teachers can use to ensure students are doing the heavy cognitive lifting in their classrooms
Welcoming both Teach Like a Champion and the Leverage Leadership Institute to Miami within a six-week span is incredible. The icing on the cake is that, thanks to generous state funding, we can charge less than one-fifth of the usual cost for a seat at one of these trainings. So let’s together, alongside Teach Like a Champion and Leverage Leadership, embrace the power of practice and lay the foundation for our best school year yet! We can’t wait to see you there.
