Professional Development Services
Inspire Change with Confidence
We understand that in addition to high-quality content, educators and administrators require Professional Development services that provide both high-level and tactical implementation strategies to meet their Common Core needs. The Leadership and Learning Center® (The Center) and Heinemann provide sound Professional Development offerings for educators and administrators through our on-site, off-site, and virtual solutions, ensuring all individuals in the learning environment have access to high-quality Professional Development.
On-Site Professional Development
HMH Professional Services offers onsite professional learning for school leaders and educators on topics such as unwrapping Common Core standards and redesigning curricula to support them; improving instruction through the use of effective formative assessment and data analytics; and leadership and coaching to affect successful change. Solutions are delivered through on-site Professional Development, implementation visits, professional learning communities, and group and individual coaching.
Heinemann’s on-site professional development offerings range from school-based seminars to Heinemann author speaking engagements to customized professional support.
Off-Site Professional Development
The Center hosts a variety of Common Core-readiness Professional Development opportunities, on topics ranging from how to implement the Common Core to helping districts prepare to meet the demands of the 2014–2015 Next Generation Assessments currently in development by PARCC and SBAC. Additionally, The Center has developed an educational track focused on the Next Generation Science Standards, one of the first of its kind.
Heinemann partners with its internationally-renowned authors and education thought leaders to deliver off-site workshops on sound instruction in the era of the Common Core. Kylene Beers, Lucy Calkins, Linda Hoyt, Christopher Lehman, Laura Robb and others share their expertise through Heinemann’s offerings.
Online Professional Development
Heinemann’s dynamic online offerings provide an accessible way to connect with authors and author-trained consultants via courses and resources, live webinars, and virtual professional learning. Recently, Heinemann launched an innovative new platform, Digital Campus, with the aim of providing teachers and their districts 24/7 online access to Heinemann professional development resources.
