Our Professional Development Focus
At Uncommon Schools, we believe our students deserve our very best, so we strive to improve every day. Whether you’re a teacher, leader, or team member, you will receive exceptional one-on-one coaching, feedback, and professional development from a team that believes in your success.
Getting Better Every Day
At Uncommon Schools, growth is a daily habit. All team members benefit from formal professional development workshops and individualized coaching sessions to continuously refine their craft. Below is just a small sample of the training and support our team members experience throughout the year.
夏季 PD
Every August, our teachers spend two to three weeks refining their practice through high-quality training focused on culture, achievement, and data-driven instruction. This time brings our teams together—new and returning teachers bond, build confidence, and start the school year ready to achieve exceptional results for our students.
每周培训时间
We devote half a day to professional development every week, including school-wide staff meetings and focused grade-level or content-area sessions. Each educator also meets one-on-one with their instructional leader for real-time feedback and individualized support.
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

Our Learning in Action
At Uncommon, every team member has a manager invested in their professional growth. Teachers benefit from a continuous cycle of classroom observations, feedback, and coaching from instructional leaders. With our classroom doors literally and figuratively open, we welcome support and collaboration from our colleagues. Throughout the year, teachers connect with peers across the Uncommon network, sharing best practices and strengthening their craft together.
