The ELAR/SLAR team can provide you and your educators with customized and data-driven professional development.  Below is a sample of the services we are certified or qualified to provide.  Please contact one of our professionals if you would like more information, quotes or inquiries.  There is no cost for consultation.

  • Leadership Learning Walks/Instructional Coach Classroom Observations
    • There are amazing models working all around our region.  We can help coordinate and lead learning walks with specific focuses (ESL, differentiation, discipline, etc.) that will not only highlight your fantastic staff but also allow them to learn from each other.
    • Universal Design for Learning (UDL) - A great framework that can assist with helping teachers cover the gamut of diverse learners and various learning levels. 
  • PLC support
    • Planning together is a powerful instructional tool.  Using the works of Platt, Tripp, Ogden, Fraser and others, our consultants will work with your teachers and instructional leaders in making the most out of the common planning time by setting up sustainable structures that will lead to improved and targeted instruction.
  • Lesson Planning/Lesson Internalization Support
    • Our skilled consultants can guide your teachers in creating and refining their lesson plans.  We can help with everything from differentiation to backward design. 
  • EOC/STAAR Support
    • Though it is not all about the test, sometimes extra support is needed.  Our experts can help you and your campus guide your students to get the coveted M&M's (Meets and Masters) through a combination of approaches
  • RLA Research Based Instructional Strategies
    • The RLA RBIS are a set of instructional strategies that should be present in classrooms regardless of instructional material.
  • Small Group Instruction Support
