Site Visits

Site visits are designed for educators and school and system leaders exploring, preparing and implementing team-based strategic school staffing models.

These experiences are especially impactful for those just beginning to explore team-based models. Site Visits offer a clear picture of what’s possible and how to get started planning your next steps.

Educators and leaders who are further along in their journey with team-based staffing also benefit from Site Visits. Seeing other models in action provides new insights and helps refine existing approaches.

Whichever stage of the journey you’re in, each Site Visit includes time to collaborate with the Next Education Workforce team to apply what you have learned and plan your next steps.

We encourage teams to attend together and to consider using the Site Visit as a shared experience that helps prepare you to launch your own Next Education Workforce models.

Site Visits are in-person and accommodate 50–100 people.

For two-day events, participants choose whether to visit two elementary or two secondary schools during their visit.

Site visits last 1–2 days. For two-day visits, we strongly recommend the following to ensure you get the most from the experience:

• Arrive the night before the first day of the Site Visit to be fully present from the start.
• Dedicate both full days to the experience, including the afternoon of day two.
• Schedule your departure for late evening on day two or the following morning.

Site Visits are one or two-day in-person visits to schools currently implementing Next Education Workforce models. These events are designed to showcase elements of team-based models in action with existing partners. Participants see examples of team teaching, use of space and team planning meetings.

The agenda also includes opportunities to learn from members of the Next Education Workforce team as well as current school leaders, practitioners and students.

Common agenda topics:

• School leader presentation
