Enhancing Professional Development

Rigorous professional development for teachers is the key component of our successful transition toward more tailored learning. Research shows when delivered well, single-sex instruction can improve student achievement, instill confidence, and better equip students to navigate social pressures. At the same time, co-ed socialization and learning opportunities are critical to help middle school girls and boys learn to interact and work together at this important stage of their social and emotional development. So, we are working with national experts to help train and support our teachers in providing effective, tailored instruction to both girls and boys in both environments.
