AVAILABLE SERVICES

Content Workshop

NMSI’s Content Workshops equip teachers with tools and strategies to create inclusive, impactful learning experiences. These workshops include two session types: 

  • Experiencing Sessions: Teachers experience model lessons from the student perspective, while expert coaches showcase effective teaching strategies. 

  • Guided Application Sessions: Teachers work with expert coaches to modify and adapt their lessons to meet the needs of their students. These sessions include lesson modification, instruction differentiation, and effective curriculum implementation. 

Vertical Team Training

Vertical Team Training brings together educators across grade levels to ensure continuity and coherence in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. This service builds awareness of standards progressions, aligns instructional goals, and addresses gaps in student learning pathways.  

Curriculum Implementation Training

Curriculum Implementation Training helps educators implement curricula effectively through instructional planning, content alignment, and lesson delivery and covers pacing, assessment, and engagement. This service helps teachers understand the structure, logic, and methodology of their adopted curriculum in order to implement lessons and units more purposefully aligned to state standards.

This service helps educators implement evidence-based strategies through goal setting and reflection, all with the dedicated leadership of a highly qualified NMSI Coach.
