Capacity Building Services for Schools & School Districts
LDA Minnesota offers trainings and consultants to assist schools and school districts with professional development and implementation of new educational practices, strategies, and curricula.
LDA Minnesota has the most skilled experience in facilitating Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). By nature, a PLC can be centered on nearly any educational theme, and often these themes are chosen by the school. Where schools, or teams within a school, are uncertain, LDA Minnesota staff has expertise in looking at student data to draw out building-wide areas that may be targets for improvement.
All LDA Minnesota educational workshops are presented by experienced educators in the fields of learning disabilities, ADHD, and educational best practices. As specialists in learning, our experts realize that participants learn best when they are engaged through a variety of activities, so workshops are interactive, appealing, and participatory. The workshop format includes small group discussion, visual learning tools, role-playing, and large group discussion.
A partial listing of workshops includes:
- What is a Learning Disability and What is Not?
