SUPPORTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

We researched how students are motivated and engaged in school and built a framework and teacher training course around it, but we also felt the need to provide a collection of resources teachers can use immediately (copy, modify, print) to help implement these ideas.

WHO IS COMMUNICATIONS BY DESIGN?

EDUCATION CONSULTING & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Founded in 1991, Communications by Design supports districts, schools, and individual teachers in technology integration and professional development. We focus this work on what matters most: successful students, innovative classrooms, and thriving schools. Whether equipping teachers with practical and proven strategies like during our Project-based Learning Academy or Fostering Engagement workshops or helping district leaders make and implement technology decisions, our work begins and ends with effective teaching and learning.

Take a look at some of our most popular programs and services!

Virtual coaching anchors all our work with teachers and administrators. We don’t leave teachers to figure things out on their own after a training– we provide ongoing support throughout the year to ensure teachers are able to implement what they’ve learned and get the just-in-time coaching and support they need.

Using years of top research, we’ve developed a framework for student engagement that any teacher can use to improve student motivation, effort, and achievement. Participants will learn over 20 practical strategies they can start using in class tomorrow!

PBL Academy helps teachers develop authentic learning experiences that engage students in deep, rigorous learning to improve student achievement. Participants experience three unique PBL frameworks, over 15 PBL strategies to implement with their students, and leave with a fully formed PBL unit!

This immersive, in-person experience prepares teachers, and thus their students, for an ever-changing future. Leveraging the power of educational technology, teachers will gain knowledge, skills, and strategies to prepare students for success in the classroom and beyond.

Coaching Academy is designed to expand coaching and leadership skills for instructional and technology coaches. Participants learn essential coaching questions, practice powerful coaching conversations, and workshop real-life coaching scenarios. Coaching Academy is an essential training for anyone in an educational coaching role.

Our Fostering Engagement framework is helping K-12 educators better engage and motivate students, but some may not have time for the full course. The Student Engagement Micro Course is the solution to bringing high-impact strategies to busy teachers in the midst of the whirlwind.

Facilitated by literacy expert Annemarie Johnson, school and district literacy teams can join this low-cost 1-day event to develop a design-focused blueprint for literacy transformation and the tools to support a literacy coaching system.

This immersive, in-person experience prepares teachers, and thus their students, for an ever-changing future. Leveraging the power of educational technology, teachers will gain knowledge, skills, and strategies to prepare students for success in the classroom and beyond.
