Fund Focused Training: Invest in a structured, consistent program for teacher professional development that is based on the learning and development of young children and emphasizes strong teaching techniques.

Streamline Priorities: Reduce the sheer number of different initiatives and topics included in teacher training to allow educators to achieve deep mastery and focus.

Encourage Shared Growth: Establish cooperative frameworks where administrators act as "partners in"—rather than solely responsible for—joint professional learning opportunities for both Early Childhood Education (ECE) and elementary school teachers.

Sponsor Collaborative Development: Support joint learning opportunities that cross sectors and grade levels, reflecting best practices. Ensure teacher training is informed by data, focuses on strong instruction, and builds cooperative staff relationships.

Facilitate Peer Coaching: Support teachers in strengthening teaching skills and classroom interactions. Encourage staff to create their own observation tools for peers and provide release time and resources for observations.

Secure Shared Time: Set aside and protect common time for educators from school and community settings to work together, despite differing schedules.

Align Resources and Staff: Verify that supplemental/intervention staff work consistently and effectively with core teacher teams. Actively engage with community-based educators to maintain a unified B-3 approach.

Focus on Core Development: Demonstrate successful methods for supporting children's growth in reading/language, math, and social-emotional skills, while tailoring instruction to individual learning needs.

Lead Professional Growth: Exhibit leadership in selecting, evaluating, and engaging with structured, child development-based training, supporting a focus on depth over breadth.

Engage in Peer Reflection: Work with colleagues to evaluate and improve your teaching methods, actively using team protocols for efficient collaboration.

Value Cross-Grade Knowledge: View colleagues across grade levels as constructive partners and demonstrate knowledge of teaching methods across the full B-3 spectrum.

Align Communication: Use consistent terminology when discussing student learning to ensure clarity and shared understanding.
