PAIDEIA PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The National Paideia Center offers a variety of options for Professional Development in Your School(s). We offer standard training events focused on:
Each of these standard training sessions occurs on two consecutive days.
Often schools have needs that require us to tailor our training materials in order to achieve specific goals. For example, your school may want demonstration seminars or coaching in specific grade levels or subjects areas. In this case, we would create a technical support visit agenda. Technical support does not require two consecutive days and can be scheduled fitted to your calendar. More about scheduling and costs...
Paideia Professional Development Phases: Historically, schools have implemented the Paideia Program in a three to four year cycle, with each year focused on one of the training phases. While these training phases do build on one another, each addresses a different facet of teaching and learning.
Our commitment is to provide the highest quality, research-based professional development available in your school.
