New Coaching & Professional Learning Opportunities (no cost to schools and districts)
The Customized Coaching and Professional Learning Program (CCPL) at ODE reviews vendor coaching proposals to ensure quality. Vendors are then contracted with ODE to provide district and school support to meet Integrated Guidance plan objectives. Districts and schools engage in a guided process to choose their own vendors. Coaching and professional learning plans are co-developed with vendors and district/school teams so there is no need to pre-plan before getting started in this program. There are no added reporting requirements for districts or schools who participate.
New coaching and professional learning focal areas include:
- Early and Adolescent Literacy
- Fiscal Stewardship
- Community Engagement (district level)
- Family Engagement in the School & Classroom
- Leadership for Continuous Improvement
- Equity Mindsets, Systems and Practices
- Equity Informed Data Systems
- Student Success Systems
- Mental Health and Well Being
- Engagement for Improved Attendance
- Support for Language Learners
