Trust-Based Observations Training
The normal training consists mostly of spending an intensive week practicing by doing over and over again. We work with you and your school leaders, exhaustively teaching and preparing you to successfully and confidently implement Trust-Based Observations. Leaders progress from feeling a little overwhelmed on Monday to proudly saying, “I got this,” on Friday.
