Typically school improvement specialists are assigned based on their previous experience in leading or teaching, without specialized training and tools for their new facilitative roles. LAUNCH! equips these professionals to successfully guide those they support to achieve higher levels of performance.
The ten-course series is offered over the span of a school year, or in a six-month cohort. The experience is rigorous and supports participants to immediately apply their learning on the job to support the right performance and results.
Apply by November 30, 2025. Synchronous classes are 3.5 hours, with two to three courses per month. Tuition is $5995 payable at registration. Your investment will support your demonstration of the correlation between your improvement facilitation and measurable, observable results.
Use this career capstone experience to develop and demonstrate your professional expertise in facilitating collaborative, sustainable school improvement and innovation.
For more information contact Deb Page to request an application and purchase order.
Learning with Peers
Synchronous learning in class is aligned with asynchronous peer-to-peer learning and coaching via the Promote digital platform. Participants report the rich peer interaction to be a highly valuable aspect of the experience, as well as the opportunity to immediately apply their learning to meeting their goals. The most common participant response: “I wish I had this training earlier in my career. It really has improved my practices!”
With more education decisions and accountability returning to state and local education agencies, this is the perfect time to engage your school improvement professionals and leaders in LAUNCH! as they collaboratively improve, innovate, and implement to take their schools and communities to the next level.
