Course Description

The Coeur d'Alene School District Instructional Framework course will take participants through all Six Staples of our District Adopted Instructional Framework (from the book Phenomenal Teaching by Wendy Ward Hoffer.) The 6 Workshops will allow teachers to consider ways in which they might enhance their own practices and grow at a deeper level in their understanding of our District Instructional Practices. Teachers will also be afforded opportunities for work time within Professional Learning Teams, so that the Instructional Framework might be authentically embedded within any content area.
