ABOUT OUR Services
SERVICES & EVENTS to Help School Districts Thrive
At Communications by Design, we focus 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. And we have a knack for taking exceptional care.
SERVICES & EVENTS FOR TEACHERS
Over the course of 2 days at our fabulous Instructional Learning Center, leadership teams are refreshed, renewed, and revitalized as they refine district goals and set clear team and individual objectives, initiatives, and measures.
Facilitated by literacy expert Annemarie Johnson, elementary teachers and administrators are invited to learn more about how to apply proven literacy instruction to enhance teaching practices and leverage current research.
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.
This immersive, in-person experience dives deep into the fundamentals of good teaching and learning, exploring strategies and tools in interactive and collaborative learning activities that revitalize teachers and refresh their classroom practices.
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!
Our Fostering Engagement framework is helping K-12 educators better engage and motivate students, but some may not have time for an in-person session. The Fostering Engagement Online Course is the solution to bringing high-impact strategies to busy teachers in the midst of the whirlwind.
Classroom instruction informed by proven learning science is more effective, more engaging, and more enjoyable. In this interactive and dynamic session, teachers will learn about how students learn and what it looks like to leverage big ideas in simple, practical ways.
Facilitated by literacy expert Annemarie Johnson, school and district literacy teams can join this 1-day event to develop a design-focused blueprint for literacy transformation and the tools to support a literacy coaching system.
Supporting new teachers is a challenge for schools everywhere. Our master educators help new teachers learn to engage students, leverage learning science in their instruction, master technology tools for teaching and learning, and much more!
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!
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.
HERES WHAT OUR TEACHERS SAY
One of the most incredible things about Communications by Design is the accessibility to the consultants. I feel like I can hop onto virtual or reach out over email and the response is almost instantaneous. That is extremely helpful in a pinch!
Communications by Design did a great job of meeting my needs. I could get in touch with you at any time and face to face meetings were nice too. Thanks for the variety of ways we can reach out to you for help. You guys ROCK!
I have really enjoyed this year’s training sessions. I have used so many of the strategies and resources provided through Communications by Design. Additionally, the coaching sessions with their team have been meaningful and helped to guide my instruction.
It has been great for our whole department. To see the direction we are going is so exciting, and without Communications by Design's support and encouragement, I am not sure if so many of the teachers would be where they are.
I felt empowered to try new things because in talking about what was difficult or challenging or overwhelming, my Communications by Design coaches always had great ideas. I honestly feel like those regular meetings sparked my professional creativity like I have not felt sparked in 20 years of teaching.
Thank you for your patience and positive energy. I am way more comfortable than I was at the beginning of this school year and no longer afraid to try.
I love having someone to fall back on and talk and share ideas with. My coach was always available and willing to help in any way he could. Communications by Design has helped completely reshape my classroom!
Without this training, I would not be using the technology in my classroom beyond showing videos for students to take notes from. I highly recommend the Communications by Design training and coaching.
