TBR is a unique experience that truly models what it teaches. I wish all professional development opportunities were designed with learners' brains in mind.
— Rachael Acello, Sr. Director Training & Programs, Core Southern California
Most districts approach PD the same way every year. Almost none of it sticks.
The research is unambiguous — passive, lecture-based delivery is the least effective way to transfer knowledge to adult learners. Yet it remains the default format for the majority of K-12 professional development nationwide.
TBR offers something different. When your teachers, coaches, and administrators all understand the 4Cs, the quality of every meeting, every lesson, and every staff training changes.
That's not an incremental improvement. It's a systemic one.
What District-wide TBR looks like
Full staff training
A 2-day TBR Practitioner Workshop for your entire team — teachers, coaches, and administrators together. A shared experience creates a shared framework.
Cohort model
Start with your instructional coaches, TSAs, and PD leads — your internal multipliers. Once they're certified, they carry the framework into every training they run for the rest of your staff.
Leadership track
Bring TBR to your administrative team first. When district leaders understand how adults learn, every professional learning decision they make changes.
