Our Professional Development Focus
At Uncommon Schools, we are national leaders in educator training and development for one reason: we believe our students deserve our best, so we strive to get better every day. As a teacher, leader, or team member at Uncommon, you will receive high-quality one-on-one coaching, support, and professional development from a team that believes in your success.
Getting Better Every Day
At Uncommon Schools, learning and growing is an everyday occurrence. All team members learn through formal professional development workshops as well as individualized coaching sessions to improve their practice. Below is just a small sample of the training and development that takes place throughout the year at Uncommon.
夏季 PD
每年八月，教师们都会参加两到三周的培训，培训内容包括推动学校文化和成绩、数据驱动教学以及与学生建立关系。我们的新教师和返校教师会团结一致，充满信心，并做好准备在开学第一天投入工作。
每周培训时间
每周，我们都会用半天的时间召开全校教职工会议和年级或教学内容会议，集中讨论专业发展问题。教职员工还可以与他们的教学领导进行一对一的辅导，获得宝贵的实时反馈和思想合作。
领导力发展务虚会
每年，Uncommon 的所有学校领导都会聚集在一起，参加为期两天的务虚会，作为一个网络进行后退和反思，同时发展领导力方面的专业知识，提高工作效率。
年度业务研究所
Uncommon 的年度运营学院将运营领导者聚集在一起，进行人员管理和最佳运营实践方面的实践培训。
内政部 PD
内政部专业发展讲习班提供各种课程，从沟通到有效辅导，以及时间管理和特定职能技能。
Our Learning in Action
In every role and at every level, team members have a manager who invests in their professional growth. For teachers, we offer a continuous cycle of classroom observations and feedback with instructional coaches. We teach with our classroom doors open and welcome the support and feedback of our colleagues. Our teachers also gather regularly throughout the year to collaborate with and learn from their peers across the Uncommon network.
