SRI offers expert professional learning experiences and coaching to support the creation of collaborative adult learning environments. The services we offer are aligned with the goals and needs of the school to help build capacity to address the unique needs of the local context.

We support schools, districts and organizations around the following core topics:

  • Transformational Learning Communities

    Professional Learning Community (PLC)
    Educators routinely engage in collaborative learning in various settings such as grade level and content area teams, book groups, study groups, action research and data analysis teams, administrative or leadership teams and many others.  Oftentimes these groups do not have the knowledge and skill to be highly effective and successful.  SRI provides professional development for members and leaders of these PLCs around the use of multiple strategies and tools to help insure their success.Intentional Learning Communities
    Learning Communities need to be intentional to help surface troubling issues of equity and examines assumptions about teaching and learning through reflective and collaborative practices. The tools and resources utilized should support educators and organizations to gain different perspectives about their students. They allow educators to build trust, take risks, and surface assumptions and insights about the students they serve by looking regularly and carefully at authentic student and adult work. SRI offers professional development for participants and facilitators of Intentional Learning Communities.
  • Facilitative Leadership. Being an effective leader takes time and support. Facilitative leadership development provides current and emerging leaders with knowledge, tools, and resources to support the development of reflective, collaborative, and learning-focused schools and organizations. Facilitative leaders might be principals, department heads, coaches or others within a school, community, or organization. The knowledge and skills gained through SRI’s Facilitative Leadership work translate into every setting where adults strive to work collaboratively.
  • Collaborative Learning. Educators routinely engage in collaborative learning in various settings such as grade level and content area teams, book groups, study groups, action research and data analysis teams, administrative or leadership teams and many others. Oftentimes these groups do not have the knowledge and skill to be highly effective and successful. SRI provides professional development for members and leaders of these learning communities around the use of multiple strategies and tools to help insure their success.
  • Customized Coaching and Support. Sometimes organizations do not know where to start, and a customized support plan offers the best way to begin. SRI’s expert staff and facilitators works with educators and community members to understand current successes and areas for improvement within the local context, and help to devise a support plan that will successfully meet their goals.
