Our Services

Granted Solutions formed to increase the internal capacity and long-term sustainability of municipal agencies, school districts, and other private and public organizations.

Professional Development

Using specially designed instructional models, we will train your staff in evidence-based instructional and curricular strategies, helping develop a learning environment that promotes standards-based learning and student success.

Our professional development currently focuses on K-12 education reform:

• Instructional Techniques — By blending direct instruction with progressive inquiry-based strategies, our team can help your teachers incorporate advanced teaching methods ideally suited for teaching Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation of Science Standards. Our instructional methods are pleasantly flexible, allowing teachers to use their own decision-making to select the best strategies during lesson delivery.
• Curriculum Self-Analysis — We can help your teachers align their curricular content to college- and career-readiness standards, including the matching the intended breath of rigor implicit in the underlying philosophy of the new Common Core.
• Lesson Planning — The new college- and career-readiness standards will increase the time demands on teachers. Using a systematic approach, your teachers will learn a straightforward path to developing engaging standards-aligned lessons that include a wide range of evidence-based strategies and varieties in cognitive rigor.
• Questioning Strategies — The questioning strategies teachers use to engage students and check for understanding greatly impacts learning. We have developed a simple, flexible, and powerful methodology that encourage students to reflect critically on their own learning. These methods stimulate critical thinking in students and allow teachers to deploy the full range of cognitive rigor available to them.
• Grant Proposal Development — Numerous funding agencies provide considerable funding for classroom-, teacher-, and even student-level projects. With this workshop, our team will appraise your staff on the grant opportunities available now and in the future and provide valuable training in the skills needed to secure funding from even the most competitive grant competitions.

Implementation Monitoring

Post-workshop monitoring is a must for entrenching newly-learned skills into everyday practice.

Using state-of-the-art technology, we will monitor the implementation of your training programs through observation of live classroom sessions and direct examination of assigned curricula.

• Curriculum — Curricular materials, lesson plans, and student assignments set the stage for learning objectives in the classroom. Instructional strategies and responses to intervention all figure into the planning stage and leave evidence of inclusion in the student work. Our team examines these artifacts to identify trends that indicate strengths and weaknesses in planning or professional competencies.
• Instruction — This process studies that actual lesson implementation during classroom activities. Granted Solution peers into the classroom to collect data which only exists in the real-time associated with lesson delivery and its dependence on student needs. This crucial data helps support teachers in their efforts by providing highly qualified data to match against planning data.
