CMDI offers in-person and remote coaching services and workshops to schools and organizations. Our educational strategists have a wide range of skills and experience to share with administrators, teachers and staff.

Our coaching services support teachers, related service providers, special area teachers and paraprofessionals. Through coaching, we offer new strategies and ideas, as well as expand and deepen current skills and practices in meeting the needs of all learners.

Workshops

Our workshops are interactive, hands-on, practical and fun! Workshops can be customized to fit any time frame and tiered to meet the learning needs of any group of participants. When time permits, workshops can include “make-and-take” opportunities, where supplies are provided for the creation of materials using newly learned strategies. You will find a description of some of the workshops we offer on the following pages.

Our services are available in person and remotely throughout the school year and summer. Consulting That Makes a Difference, Inc., has been approved as a Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) through NYSED.

Professional Development

We know that professional development for educators is a crucial aspect of improving the overall quality of education in schools. It not only supports teachers in enhancing their skills but also benefits school districts by ensuring a more effective and motivated teaching workforce. Ongoing professional development is key to creating a learning environment where teachers are well-prepared to meet the diverse needs of their students. Education is constantly evolving, with new research emerging on the best ways to support student learning.

Professional development helps teachers understand these changes, adapt their teaching strategies, and implement new tools and techniques to keep students engaged and ensure they are learning effectively. Whether it is learning evidence-based instructional methods and tools, or classroom management strategies, teachers gain invaluable insights that can transform their teaching practices. It offers educators a chance to reflect on their practices, set professional goals, and engage in activities that challenge them intellectually and creatively. Teachers who are continuously learning and improving their skills are better able to differentiate instruction, accommodate various learning styles, and implement individualized education plans for students with special disabilities.
