Compelling Questions:

• What are effective schools doing to achieve dramatic results in student learning?
• How are educators able to assess the degree to which students are making progress?
• How can districts build capacity and save money, while providing professional development that really improves teaching and learning? 

So, Why Choose Our Certification Training?

Our extraordinary 3+1 Certification Training begins with a three-day interactive training and includes follow-up Implementation Webinars and continuous support.

Based on years of research and success stories, the training provides participants with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to present and implement the content of the Decision Making for Results and Data Teams seminars to educators within their schools and districts.

Certified Trainers will assist educators in utilizing data analysis to increase student achievement.

The Certification Training and follow-up support will help the schools and districts to:

• Build internal capacity and save significant amounts of money
• Provide effective on- going professional development

For less than the cost of a one-day seminar presented by a Center consultant, a certified trainer can present seminars an unlimited number of times in their school or district for a period of three years… And the Certified Trainers still receive ongoing support from senior Center consultants!
