| The
most frequent staff development requests we receive are for inservice,
ranging from a single day to periodic workshops throughout the school
year. However, to better ensure sustainability of reform initiatives,
we at Galusha Hill Consulting recommend
long-range plans of ongoing embedded staff development. In addition, we
suggest that workshops include the entire team - not only classroom teachers,
but also paraprofessionals and administrators as well.
Topics for inservice vary according to the needs
of the sponsoring school or district. We will work with you to develop
a plan that best reflects your goals. The most frequent requests we
receive include:
| Implementing problem solving
and performance-based assessment in the classroom and across the
school |
| Enhancing understanding
of math content; for example, how a particular math strand builds
across the grades |
| Using manipulatives to
reinforce conceptual understanding |
| Adopting standards-based
math programs - strategies for success |
| Strengthening collaborative
learning communities |
| Building capacity for
leadership |
