Develop Educators: 

• Engage in professional learning with teachers and teams 

• Use a multi-method approach (focus groups, interviews, surveys, observations, lesson and unit analysis, etc.) to assess current teaching and learning practices

• Share written or oral analysis of current teaching and learning practices, strengths and opportunities, and prioritized recommendations.

• Meet onsite or virtually to review evidence of student learning, design and refine units, and co-plan student learning experiences

• Collaboratively review assessments and rubrics for alignment to learning goals, accuracy, inter-rater reliability, and grade calibration

• Facilitate team planning that integrates Mission-related elements within the curriculum

• Develop teachers as the learner of the content (teacher as writer, mathematician, etc.)

• Look at student work for a variety of purposes and outcomes

• Coach for individuals and teams on implementing DEIJ practices in classrooms
