How does aha! Process work with a school?
In planning beyond the foundational trainings, aha! Process develops technical assistance based on the needs of the school. These technical assistance meetings, offered through follow-up sessions with a consultant from aha! Process, provide support for the teachers during this process of change. Payne’s model is professional development that is sustained and should be designed for a three- to five-year time period. Leadership building is essential to the model as the principal works with staff to identify the tasks and time needed to improve the achievement of all students.
