Partnerships and Sprints
4CTL understands that every school is unique, and every school needs to tailor professional learning to their people, their challenges and their needs. That is why we offer two ways to engage in our professional learning, all based around a modular approach, so schools can focus their energy and attention on what matters most to them.
4CTL Transformative Partnerships
A 4CTL Transformative Partnership is the pathway most schools undertake with us. The Partnership involves on-going strategic planning towards long-term transformation.
It integrates aspects of learning from our 4CTL curriculum pertinent to the needs of the school.
The Partnership is a continuing co-construction of professional learning, facilitated processes and strategies towards the school’s transformative learning goals and vision.
A 4CTL Transformative Partnership also connects schools with our wider 4C Network, which features Network Day conferences, principals’ and leadership retreats, and collaborations across the Network.
-
We discuss your PL needs, available time and budget constraints. Using our curriculum as a guide, we tailor a PL program that fits your context, and proceed with the expectation that the PL commitment is long-term (3+ years).
-
Partnerships are for schools who recognise that true transformation within schools, learning and individuals takes time, depth and process. This means committing to a professional learning pathway that will take a number of years. They know that quick fixes and silver bullets don’t achieve the real change they’re looking for.
-
Because partnerships are bespoke to each school or organisational context, the cost can vary. Some school have us on-site three or four times a term, some only once. We’ll ensure you’re aware of the cost of your program before you commit.
Partnership schools attract a 40% discount on our standard fees, and payment can be made in advance (partial or full), or at the completion of each semester’s planned sessions.
4CTL Modular Sprint Learning
The Modular Sprint Learning pathway involves stand-alone professional learning courses for interested teachers and leaders.
The aim of the 4CTL Modular Sprint doesn’t require a long-term commitment to school transformation. Rather, it involves meeting immediate PL needs, using targeted, short-term focus on immediate need or skill development. Thus, it means a shorter-term relationship between us and the school.
Typically, Modular Sprint Learning is undertaken over a semester period.
-
We work with you, using our curriculum, to create a targeted, short-term PL program, typically delivered over 1-2 terms, that addresses the learning needs of the school, team or organisation.
-
Sprints are ideal for schools who a new to the 4Cs or the Learning Disposition Wheel, and want to taste-test PL with 4CTL. Sprints are also great for schools who can’t commit to long-term PL for financial or practical reasons, but know they want to begin or help sustain their transformation journey.
-
Because Sprints are co-constructed with schools, to meet their needs and budgetary constraints, each school Sprint will carry a unique cost. Sprint schools attract a 30% discount on our standard pricing. Payment can be made up-front, or at the completion of scheduled sessions each semester.
Our Professional Learning Curriculum
Our curriculum covers a central, core module of the 4Cs, and then extends out across 6 topics, each with multiple modules available within it. Note that we can combine appropriate modules.
