Course overview
Next year, lead PD they love.
Help your teachers and students thrive in the classroom with the five key beliefs for student motivation, and learn the kind of strategic thinking and practical planning that will make passionate learning the bedrock of your school culture.
Who is this course for
01
If you're in charge of PD next year and want to start planning now for something deeply good for all teachers & students, it's for you.
02
If collective teacher helplessness is spreading & you know the five key beliefs can help but you don't know what to do next, it's for you.
03
If you want PD to be something that you and your colleagues look forward to, something that builds up teachers of all levels, it's for you.
Key outcomes
Know the content
I want you to become deeply knowledgeable about the five key beliefs methodology -- so much so that you'll be an able thought partner to a diversity of colleagues, a perceptive leader of professional development, and an effective further learner.
Transform your school
When you start implementing the projects throughout the course, you'll start to see the change as more teachers and students come to school excited to learn.
Make a plan
I'm going to share case studies and examples from the PD work I've done with districts in almost every state in the USA and several countries besides so that you can plan from a strong, strategic standpoint for high-impact, low-stress PD.
Gain a network
To date, there's only been one person in the world who gets to explore the five key beliefs methodology with brilliant people far and wide -- me! This course will change that. Imagine a network of folks doing this same kind of work.

A quick word from me to you
Meet your instructor
Dave Stuart Jr.
The difference between good and bad PD is a soul uplifted and of a soul crunched, a classroom enlivened and a classroom grayed, a career encouraged and a career questioned.
In the over 200 professional development sessions I've led during the past decade, I've tried thousands of tactics and learned from all kinds of failures. I've seen to build quick and lasting credibility as a PD provider; I've seen how ideas for professional learning can become an unintended burden instead of a much-needed boon.
The purpose of this course is to share what I've learned with you about leading professional development on the five key beliefs. I know of no topic more important for schools around the world than this one -- especially for this coming school year.
If you're responsible, in whole or in part, for professional development at your school next year, this course is for you.
