School Improvement Specialist Development & Certification

Guide Schools, School Systems and Educators to Improve School Performance and Student Achievement

Develop competency and demonstrate proficiency in using systematic processes to guide systemic, collaborative improvement within schools and school systems. The LAUNCH! Learning & Performance Journey provides a performance-based development experience for state, regional and local education agency facilitators of improvement.

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.

School districts, and state and regional education agencies can enroll staff who provide service and support improvement in virtual state, regional, or local LAUNCH! cohorts.

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.

Title II funds and ESSER funds may used to fund participation.
For more information contact Deb Page Deb@TIFPI.org.

Or want to join a virtual national cohort and earn a project-based Certified School Improvement Specialist designation while working to guide local improvement in your school or district? Contact Dr. Jean Quigg Jean@TIFPI.org

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!”
