Professional learning
Professional learning that leads to real change
Our workshops help teachers bring science, math, and engineering to life with high-quality instructional materials. Teachers leave with practical strategies, ready-to-use lessons, and a clear picture of how to run rigorous, differentiated lessons for every student.
Why an ADI workshop
We model it, then you practice it
Teachers work through an investigation just as their students will, then plan and practice with grade-level peers. Whether you are just starting or deepening your implementation, we meet teachers where they are.
Experience it as a student
Teachers do a full investigation from the student side, so they know how each stage feels.
Plan with your peers
Time to plan, rehearse, and reflect with teachers from the same grade level.
Leave ready to teach
Ready-to-use lessons and strategies for student talk, writing, and thinking.
Choose your format

What teachers say
Fernando Izquierdo, Science Teacher
“I really liked the modeling that you did for us. I feel like I can take it back to my classroom and use it with my students now.”
Lindsey Brown, Science Specialist
“Do the Facilitator Institute! You actually go through the process and debrief each step, so you leave feeling confident that you can train others.”
Steven Garrett, Science Teacher
“I love how we were able to share classroom experiences, strengths, and weaknesses with fellow teachers in the same grade level. I never get to do that at my school.”
Facilitator Institute
