How it Works

At DMGroup’s Secondary Scheduling Institute, your district team will learn our research-backed, methodical approach to building best-in-class schedules. Features include:

• Participation by district teams: districts participate as a team of up to eight participants per district which builds capacity, collaboration, and shared understanding.
  
• Training spanning three months: The Institute takes a multi-mode approach incorporating remote group meetings, webinars, self-use tools and coaching calls over a period of four months.
  
• Learn by doing: With the belief that the best way to learn is to learn by doing, each district team will work on building their schedules with the support of coaching, tools, templates, and guides.
  
• Peer network: At the Institute, your district team will meet other like-minded teams with whom to share challenges and lessons learned.
