Put Research into Practice
Integrated Online, Collaborative, and Action-Oriented Professional Learning.
Facilitated Book Studies focus on a specific professional book and topic. Supporting components guide teachers and teacher leaders through a systematic yet flexible learning experience designed to maximize professional growth.

- Apply new knowledge with authentic, classroom-based tasks.
- Discuss salient chapter topics during live book sessions to clarify and deepen knowledge.
Supporting Administrators
- Plan for success with an Implementation Map, which presents a session-by-session timeline outlining the entire process, including learning outcomes, session agendas, and independent study expectations.
