Adaptive Schools Foundation Seminar Training

Adaptive Schools training supports developing collaborative teams by providing strategies, skills, concepts, and structures that support increased individual and collective performance, resourcefulness, and satisfaction. Adaptive Schools is a cornerstone approach to collaborative work.
REGISTRATION FEES: US$100 per person
Deadline: September 12, 2024
Participants must attend the full training to receive a certificate of completion.
Cognitive Coaching Seminars Foundation Training
Days 1 to 4: November 9-12, 2024
Days 5 to 8: March 15-18, 2025
Cognitive Coaching℠ is a model that supports people in becoming self-directed (which includes becoming self-managing, self-monitoring, and self-modifying). While Adaptive Schools is a cornerstone approach to group collaboration, Cognitive Coaching represents a deeper dive into the skills paraphrase and posing questions while equipping individuals with mental models and maps that support mediating thinking in one-on-one and small group dialogue in the classroom, in teams and beyond. This foundation course is offered in two parts (4 days each). Days 1 - 4 focus on skill development as well as two conversation maps: planning and reflecting. Days 5 - 8 further refine skills while introducing the problem resolving map as means to support individuals in getting "unstuck."
REGISTRATION FEES: US$100 per person for each 4-day training session
Deadline: October 24, 2024 for Days 1-4 and February 27, 2025 for Days 5-8
Participants must attend the entire 8-day training to receive a certificate of completion.
Please note that Days 5-8 fall during the Holy month of Ramadan.
