Job embedded professional learning at its best.
After ten years serving over 1,000 educators from 25 states, 35 cities and over 100 charter, district and faith-based school networks across the country, NAATE has adapted its content, pedagogy and approach to introduce a novel series of professional development modules tailored to the needs of all educators serving K-12 students across the sector.
The 350 hour NAATE residential curriculum has been condensed and streamlined to fit the budgets and time constraints of busy schools. From 1,000 pages of readings, 60+ case studies and 20+ days away from home, NAATE introduces its Field Modules: 48 hours of self-facilitated, discussion-based learning conducted virtually or inside your school building.
It is job-embedded professional learning at its best. The same attention to content curation and underlying research; The same emphasis on mindset shifting conceptual understandings so vital to professional growth and school performance, and the same belief in the power of peer-to-peer, discussion-based methods of adult learning. Mindsets must shift for practices to change. NAATE Field Modules allow for the necessary interaction, reflection and metacognitive stretching required to see those deep changes in your work with students and with other adults in your school.
