SEEK ADDITIONAL TRAINING
There are some things we all should know: Every student is unique.
Everyone learns differently. Every teacher has a different set of talents and
skills. There are also many things we don't know, which is why seeking
additional training and information can improve student outcomes. Here
are few tips as you look for ways to sharpen your practice.
01
Notice Your Gaps and Your Strengths
When it comes to training, sometimes it can be more
attractive to learn about things we are already familiar
with versus trying to learn something new. Your training
should help you build on your strengths and support the
gaps in your repertoire.
02
Think Continuous Improvement
There are so many ways to be trained, but a single "sit
and get" session is probably not the best. Look for
multiple opportunities and revisit what you've learned
regularly to find new ways to incorporate what you've
learned. Keep investing in yourself.
03
Get Connected
Whether it is a district liaison, a specialized group, or
an organization that creates training, there are many
places and ways to be connected to the information
and strategies you need. To find additional resources

Difference Playbook.
04
Apply, Reflect, and Share
As you learn, think of ways you can implement the new
ideas into your current lesson plans as well as new
ones. If something works, reflect on why and be willing
to share any new learnings.
