Positive Change Institute (PCI) is rooted in supporting school districts to improve their capacity which results in introspection and improved student outcomes. PCI employed a scientific approach to the study of education, with the aim of combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. This includes observation of practice for the betterment of children, teachers, and our larger democratic society. We are highly experienced to prepare teachers in delivering high quality instruction to students. We will translate this deep knowledge and experience into professional development and strategic supports that positively impact learning outcomes. Professional learning is the acquisition of any knowledge, skills and behaviors needed to apply and integrate a strategy or product into one’s job or position to advance desired outcomes.
Positive Change Institute has established criteria and qualifiers (Micro- credential) for individuals or instructors, who exhibit or have experience with the performance indicators of targeted desired outcomes, and who facilitate face-to-face and online professional learning with participants. Professional Learning is a permanent change of knowledge, skills and/or behaviors and long term in nature. Professional learning builds the capacity to achieve and sustain new desired performance outcomes that benefit the organization. Positive Change Institute Professional Learning may award in-service points towards renewal of an educator certificate if all the requirements are met pursuant to statutory law, rules, policy, procedures.
