JP’s Responsive Professional Development Model™ is a structured, highly-effective, immediately impactful system for improving teacher performance in the classroom and building internal capacity to ensure that student gains are long lasting and consistent.

JP’s Responsive Professional Development Model™ is built around core principles derived from the latest research on what really works in education and over 20 years’ experience working in some of the most challenging districts in our nation.  These core principles are universal and unequivocal…but that doesn’t mean that the professional development looks the SAME in all environments. 

Too often, schools and districts are given “canned” professional development that doesn’t take into account their unique staffing, student population, history, and structure.  The impact of that kind of training usually lasts until the consultant leaves the building.  JP’s RESPONSIVE approach ensures that your staff receives the RIGHT intensive training for their situation and current skill level. 

In short, Responsive Professional Development is NOT a one-size-fits-all approach…it’s tailored to your school or district much the same way high-quality instruction is tailored to meet the needs of your students.  And that means genuine results.

JP’s Responsive Professional Development Model™ is delivered across Five Domains:

Leadership

Positive School Culture

Instructional Management

Responsive Coaching™

Curriculum

These Five Domains are the foundation of effective, responsive schools.  Strengthening that foundation through intensive and ongoing professional development is the key to building internal capacity, improving teacher quality and impacting student performance. 

In today’s educational climate, there isn’t time or money for taking a risk on ineffective, inefficient, “fuzzy” approaches to improving teacher quality in the classroom.  You’ve already tried it and you know the results.  You don’t have time to waste.  It’s time for Responsive Professional Development™.
