PD ON THE GROUND + WORKSHOPS
WE CAN HELP YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY
Dedicated to school evolution and school success
Our professional development experiences are designed to empower teachers and school leaders with the tools they need to thrive in today’s dynamic educational landscape. We offer a variety of workshops, seminars, and coaching programs focused on instructional best practices, leadership development, and innovative strategies to enhance student engagement. Our expert-led sessions provide educators with actionable insights and personalized support to foster continuous growth.
Teacher Growth & Development
We have long known that teachers are the single most important factor in student success. Yet we are facing a crisis of teacher retention. And those who stay often feel burned out. The old approach—“observation and evaluation”—won’t attract, retain, and develop the most important part of your learning community.
The good news is that we know the solution: regular opportunities for feedback, communication, and recognition. That’s why we have created a next-generation Teacher Growth & Development Program.
AI IN EDUCATION
AI is here and it’s time to get on board. MSA has been committed to staying at the forefront of all things gen AI in schools. We conduct 100 and 200 level workshops on the ground to help move teachers, leaders and students into this transformative moment in global history.
Strategic Planning
Every school needs a strategic plan, but few school leaders and boards know a good plan from a bad one. So schools end up making a laundry list of “strategic” things reflective of various stakeholder wishes. The final result is a diffusion of focus that reinforces the status quo. That’s the opposite of strategy!
In the Evolution Lab approach, we focus on understanding “Forces at Play,” defining what it will mean to succeed in such a world, and identifying choices that will take your school on that change journey.

What PREVIOUS IN-PERSON WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS Are Saying
“There were multiple aspects of the workshop that especially impressed me. These included use of the Clifton Strengths survey to identify each person's most dominant themes and to start to consider how to foster curiosity and teacher and team strengths and talents.”
—EDUCATOR, PADUA SCHOOL
“An extremely engaging tutorial on constructively guiding teachers.”
—EDUCATOR, PADUA SCHOOL
“As a new department chair this year, I want to make sure my colleagues in my department understand that I am on their side and want them to be the best educators that they can be. It was very helpful to do the strengths survey beforehand and to participate in the empathy interviews - something I am planning to now incorporate into my own classes in world languages!.”
—EDUCATOR, PADUA SCHOOL
“Collaboration with the MSA team has reinvigorated a sense of teamwork and commitment to personal growth among our faculty, helping to connect us in ways we never have before. Additionally, their partnership and guidance have been instrumental in my own formation as a more confident and thoughtful leader within our school community.”
