At RWP-M, we believe that the most meaningful professional learning begins with listening. Each partnership starts with a needs assessment—a collaborative process that helps us identify your school’s goals, strengths, and key areas for growth. From there, we design a professional development plan tailored to your community’s unique needs. While each plan is flexible, most schools find that a minimum of five days per grade band provides the most lasting impact.
Supporting Strong Literacy Instruction
RWP-M professional development is curriculum agnostic and designed to strengthen literacy instruction across any program or framework. Whether your school uses Units of Study or another approach, our work centers on helping educators teach reading, writing, and phonics powerfully and responsively.
Tailored Support for Every Grade Band
Schools are matched with a Staff Developer who specializes in K–2, 3–5, and/or 6–8, ensuring that the professional learning aligns with your teachers’ grade-level expertise. Partnerships typically include a series of school-specific professional development days across the year.
Learning That Lives in Classrooms
Our professional development brings theory to life. Staff Developers work side-by-side with teachers in labsite classrooms, modeling lessons, supporting small-group instruction, and helping teachers analyze student work to inform next steps. Sessions may also include grade-level study groups or full-day workshops on topics such as assessment, vocabulary, text-based writing, decodable texts, and more. The PD focus and schedule is always determined with the leadership team ahead of time.
A Community of Learning
Partner schools and districts gain access to the Mossflower Learning Community, with invitations to Leadership Conferences, opportunities to pilot pre-publication curricula, and membership to the Mossflower Treasure Chest, an ever-growing online library of teaching resources and materials.
Schools and districts that receive 5 or more Professional Development days receive a 20% discount on all RWP-M events.
