Enhance Student Success
Instructional Practices, as a part of our Professional Development services, help educators widen their skillset. Our research-backed strategies can help foster an engaging classroom environment.
The Compass Approach to Instructional Practices
PLC Facilitation
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) provide the time and space for educators to collaborate, reflect and refine their teaching practices. Participation in PLCs can help educators leverage their collective expertise, share best practices and continue developing professionally to enhance student learning outcomes.
Essential Standards/Visible Learning
Clarity amongst teachers and their students is essential to classroom success. It’s up to the teacher to know what their students are learning, and get them to understand the curriculum. Our team can help provide processes and protocols as it helps teachers identify and align essential standards to their lesson plans to meet the diverse needs of their students.
Curriculum/Resources Alignment
Understanding curriculum is important if educators want to meet their educational objectives and student needs. In this training, educators will learn strategies for aligning curriculum with standards, explore methods for integrating learning objectives, assessments and instructional practices to optimize classroom success.

Competency-Based Learning
This concept shifts the focus to a learning method based in the mastery of skills and knowledge, rather than overall seat time. By understanding these principles educators can personalize instruction, provide support and foster a deeper understanding of the curriculum in every student. We can help guide and assist educators with the tools and strategies to implement these approaches effectively.
Project Based Learning
Project-Based Learning (PBL) approaches education in an immersive way for students to create an authentic, hands-on experience. Embracing PBL allows teachers to create a learning environment rich in creativity, curiosity and motivation. Ultimately preparing students for success in an ever-evolving world. With Compass, teachers will equip themselves with the knowledge and tools to design and felicitate inspiring projects that drive deep learning and promote real-world connection.
