School & System Planning
Building instructional clarity that strengthens professional capacity.
Effective school and system planning begins with a shared understanding of instructional priorities and the learning schools are working to strengthen. From that foundation, leaders develop coherent plans that intentionally connect educator learning, instructional practice, and evidence-informed decision-making. By intentionally designing educator learning around shared instructional priorities, schools create greater coherence across planning, professional practice, and instructional decision-making. As coherence grows, so does the professional capacity of educators and leaders to continually strengthen teaching and learning.
Examples of support include:
Clarifying instructional priorities.
Designing coherent improvement plans.
Intentionally designing educator learning.
Building practical evidence collection processes.
Supporting leadership teams in monitoring implementation and determining next steps.
Leading Educator Learning
Strengthening the capacity of instructional leaders to lead educator learning.
Leading educator learning is about more than instructional coaching. It is the intentional work of strengthening the professional capacity of educators and leaders through collaborative inquiry, the intentional design of educator learning, and increasingly informed instructional decision-making.
At Observable Learning Co., instructional leadership is viewed through the responsibility of leading educator learning rather than through a particular job title. Whether that role is carried out by principals, vice-principals, instructional coaches, resource teachers, teacher-librarians, continuous improvement coaches, divisional specialists, consultants, and others whose role includes strengthening the professional learning and practice of educators.
Examples of support include:
Creating the conditions for adult learning.
Making sense of evidence to intentionally design educator learning.
Designing educator learning aligned with school and divisional priorities.
Facilitating collaborative inquiry, instructional coaching, and educator learning.
Supporting instructional leaders in monitoring implementation and determining next steps.
Building sustainable structures for leading educator learning.
Professional Learning & Workshops

Examples of support include:
Designing literacy-focused educator learning in reading, writing, oral language, and critical thinking.
Facilitating collaborative planning for units, authentic learning experiences, and assessment.
Strengthening evidence-informed instructional practices that respond to the diverse strengths and needs of learners.
