Tired of traditional professional learning that feels disconnected from the daily reality of your classroom? We facilitate teacher learning that is co-designed with your team to solve the specific challenges you face every day.

 

Our Approach: We don’t just deliver content; we partner with you through cycles of inquiry. By surfacing actionable problems of practice, we help educators experience their own deeper learning firsthand, leading to improved practice and better student outcomes.

 

What We Won’t Do: We won’t employ a traditional “stand-and-deliver” model of professional learning in which educators are passive recipients of knowledge, an approach that is both too common in too many schools and also ineffective at moving practice.

 

Let your school’s Strategic Plan, School Improvement Plan, or self-identified goals guide the formation of a school-based professional learning experience. UVEI can design a program with you that is linked to your school’s goals.
