Talent Development
Our vision is to provide high quality job embedded learning experiences grounded in targeted instructional and leadership competencies, positive partnerships, and clear accountability measures to improve outcomes for students.
Talent Development Approach:
Data-Driven Approach:
Our Talent Development department sets the strategy to create internal pipelines to leadership through data-driven performance-based learning and accountability. Our approach to professional development includes in person, virtual, and self-paced training sessions, followed-up with coaching and practice in field, then evaluations of the leader in his/her space. We employ a responsive cyclical method by reviewing data to determine if the cycle begins again with more training sessions, or if more practice in the field is necessary before assessing the skills again. Ultimately, this cycle continues throughout the development process to yield the highest level of results.
