Instructional Services
Learning is our passion. We develop and promote opportunities that create shared learning experiences. We are experts at identifying the needs of our community of learners and leaders; being flexible to what is being asked and focusing on results for all students.
Our goal is to support educators and school and district leaders as they focus on student learning.
Instructional Services supports school improvement by providing professional learning opportunities, embedded coaching, and technology resources to support learning. The Instructional Services division supports the needs of all educators and provides forward thinking direction through a broad spectrum of programs and services for the local, regional, and broader education community. We connect educators to the right resources, through our internal expertise as well as our relationships and partnerships with global thought leaders, that create valuable opportunities for all students.
