//**Evidence that staff development provides educators with the knowledge and skills to collaborate.**//

In August 2009, I supported United Friends Schools in launching a Professional Learning Community initiative. With careful collaborative planning between myself and the school principal throughout the summer, the workshop was a success and the faculty continues to operate in PLCs. This workshop included a discussion on group dynamics so that teachers would be prepared for the storming and norming that is a natural part of working collaboratively. Below is the agenda, presentation, and resources that were shared at the workshop.

//**Evidence that staff development uses learning strategies appropriate to the intended goals of the staff development.**//

__Differentiated Instruction at Calvary Christian School__ Both of these workshops modeled differentiated instructional strategies for teachers. Agendas for each are below.

__Co-Teaching Conference Presentation__ I presented a session on Differentiated Instruction at the BCIU Co-Teaching Conference. Again, this session incorporated and modeled differentiated instructional strategies.
