Why All Professional Learning is Continuous Improvement

Continuous improvement is a mindset designed to create lasting and meaningful change and it’s something the West40 Professional Learning team factors into every service we offer.

It involves focusing on your current reality, creating a clear vision of where you are heading, and making progress toward your goal. West40 can help a district focus on almost anything it wants to strengthen. No matter if it’s raising test scores or supporting students with specific needs or coaching teachers to work as a team.

In fact, one recipient of our continuous improvement support said it fostered a culture of growth at their school. Another said, “It is nice to have a third party to consider all sides whose only intention is to be helpful and honest.”

West40’s continuous improvement support will help your district identify challenges by using data, plan for solutions, act on those ideas, reflect on progress, and make adjustments so every student and staff member has an opportunity to succeed.

"We prefer to show up as thought partners," said Suzy Dees, senior director of professional learning. "They know us. They trust us. And we know what their concerns are."

While districts have a choice as to who provides them professional development, why not choose the local team that knows your districts and communities?

“We're less expensive than the big companies that are for profit. We exist in school code and statute. The reason we exist is to serve you,” Dees said.

Helping schools, administrators, and educators get better. It’s what we do!
