Learning After COVID: Priority Planning

What will the next "normal" in education look like for school district leaders, campus administrators, teachers, and students?

Our Learning After COVID service will help leaders design and implement a post-pandemic plan. It's based on Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond’s “ten priorities” and John Hattie's “high-leverage” indicators on proven points of evidence to accelerate learning and close learning gaps. We work with administrators to create a custom package that fits your campus’ needs and contains a combination of professional development opportunities and onsite or digital coaching.

The result is explicit post-pandemic training and coaching that helps close the learning gap for struggling students and ensures the next 1-5 years of instruction are well-developed and intentional.

Our work is designed around Priorities of Restarting and Reinventing School:

• Utilizing a research-based framework that builds on and recognizes other student-centered, equity-oriented frameworks

• Optimizing and prioritizing resources — people, time, and money

• Promoting high levels of stakeholder engagement

• Supporting leaders in designing a roadmap for creating a viable instructional program with clearly delineated strategies for ensuring all students have access to high-quality teaching and learning

• Increasing accelerated learning and closing learning gaps

• Boosting students’ academic and social-emotional success

• Addressing data-based priority areas of the plan (i,e, financial, technology, and interventions)

We'll visit your district or campus to:

• Talk through campus/district concerns for the design and delivery of a post-pandemic plan and closing learning gaps (1, 3, and 5 years)

• Design and deliver tailored professional learning to meet the individual needs of your district/campus using research-based protocols and priority planning

  • Priority 1: Close the Digital Divide

  • Priority 2: Strengthen Distance and Blended Learning

  • Priority 3: Assess What Students Need

  • Priority 4: Ensure Supports for Social and Emotional Learning

  • Priority 5: Redesign Schools for Stronger Relationships

  • Priority 6: Emphasize Authentic, Culturally Responsive Learning

  • Priority 7: Provide Expanded Learning Time

  • Priority 8: Establish Community Schools and Wraparound Supports

  • Priority 9: Prepare Educators for Reinventing Schools

  • Priority 10: Leverage more Adequate and Equitable School Funding

• Coach individual principals

• Provide support in planning during PLC time

• Develop a plan for the implementation of the priority principles and high-leverage indicators
