Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Practical Prose from the Pros at PRA newsletter, tied to our overall Practical Prose menu of support for school district leaders including webinars, podcasts, and workshops.
Grounded in our shared values of collaboration, commitment, and creativity, this publication is designed to support school and district leaders by connecting research to the intentional design of teaching and learning environments. With new content shared monthly, this newsletter will feature insights and resources to help you support student growth, strengthen staff development and retention, and help position your school as a destination learning community.
PROJECT SHOWCASE
Beginning in March, each issue will feature a school project that showcases how we support clients in developing innovative solutions to complex challenges with tight budgets and tighter deadlines, plan constructible solutions, navigate historic preservation, and meet sustainability goals while engaging students and community.
