Quick Tips Webinar: Planning Ahead for Next Year

by | May 6, 2024

How do great educators use the results of one school year to plan and launch the next? In April, two excellent teaching team leaders shared how they first do a deep review of the hits and misses of the current year; join us for two more free, 30-minute webinars to learn how leaders use that review for the next steps of planning ahead and launching in 2024–25!

Register now for May 21—Planning Ahead: Using this year’s results to plan ahead for the next school year, 3:30–4 p.m. ET! This webinar features teaching team leaders Tonya Reaves and Sean Carberry of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

Coming August 6, Reaves and team leader Alex Tobin of Thomasville City Schools will share their tips on Launching the Year: Moving from reflection & planning to a great school-year start.

In this free series, these educators pack a lot of quick tips into 30 minutes. They focus on setting themselves and their teams up for a successful launch through strong planning, a key element of instructional leadership and excellence. When educators want to convey that they believe each student is capable of far more, even when students do not yet believe in themselves, they can find that planning ahead for high-standards, differentiated instruction supports the belief with action.

Watch the first webinar, featuring Carberry and Tobin, here.
