Research Labs
Project-Based Learning + Reading and Writing in Content Areas
Professional Development for Research Labs helps teachers understand the specific elements of project-based learning so they can effectively facilitate their students’ learning. Teachers receive further support in the form of teacher coaching visits and detailed Research Labs workshops. All of this is focused on showing teachers how to make their students successful readers, writers, and consumers of nonfiction texts.
Smart Start Professional Development Module
Includes:
-
$8,500.00
-
for 5–20 Participants
Workshops
Additional workshops are available to support Research Labs. Research has demonstrated that the reason school reforms don’t work is because schools don’t really do them. ARC coaches work with teachers and leadership teams, in their classrooms early enough and often enough, to ensure success.
Available Themes & Levels
More than 50 thematic units are available for grades ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade.
