TRAINING & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Our initial contact with a school district
often comes through our public workshops. A frequent outgrowth of the workshop experience is a longer term relationship with a district in the form of
consulting services, advanced courses (which may include graduate credit),
or specialty institutes.
Because we recognize that no two
school districts have identical needs, we create an
implementation plan customized to each school or district. We work collaboratively to ensure a successful school-, or
district-wide, implementation of the Collins
Writing Program and provide guidance in the form of
Three Steps to a Successful Program Implementation. This guide will provide you with a straight-forward approach
to assessing your staffs' skills level, establishing your
goals, and determining the training activities you wish to
include. To arrange for a free phone
consultation call us at 800-932-4477.
PUBLIC WORKSHOPS
Each year we conduct scores of
half- or full-day writing workshops for teachers, supervisors and administrators.
Our public workshops are held throughout the United States in convenient
locations, such as a hotel, and are open to educators from the
surrounding school districts.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Consulting engagements typically
cover one or more school years and provide in-depth, ongoing
support for teachers in the form of intensive training and
in-class modeling of techniques and best teaching practices.
ADVANCED COURSES
Our
advanced
writing courses are in-depth sessions that last from three to seven
days and can be customized to meet specific needs. Advanced courses
are typically offered in the summer and are a key focus of a district's professional development program.
Courses include a graduate credit option, and participating
teachers may come from the sponsoring district or surrounding area
districts.
SPECIALTY INSTITUTES
Specialty
institutes are full- or
half day sessions focusing on the unique
needs of mathematics teachers, English/language arts teachers, or
career and technology high schools.
