A Partnership in Professional Learning
Why Maverik Education
Our Approach
Focus and Formats
The Situation
Schools invest in professional development, but the ideas and strategies rarely become schoolwide expectations. Teachers attend workshops and return to classrooms doing what they have always done. Without a clear framework and a strategic partner to support implementation, professional learning loses momentum and school improvement stalls.
Professional Development
A single structured training designed to enhance teacher knowledge, skills, and competencies. Typically a one-time workshop, seminar, or lecture focused on acquiring new strategies and practical skills for the classroom.
The Solution
Maverik Education partners with schools, districts, and education organizations to transform professional learning into schoolwide expectations. Our goal is to support schools with establishing a learner-focused culture that is standards-based, student-supportive, and sustainable. We use the Maverik Method to ensure teaching and learning addresses the demand of the standards and the diverse needs of every student. Through research-based frameworks, practical training, and ongoing support, we help leaders lead and teachers teach so all students learn.
Professional Learning
Ongoing, collaborative experiences that engage educators in developing and practicing new methods for teaching and learning. Includes intensive sessions, peer collaboration, small team and 1:1 coaching, and follow-up support throughout the academic year.
The Results
Schools that partner with Maverik Education build a shared language for teaching and learning, establish sustainable instructional expectations, and create a culture where deeper learning is the standard and not the exception. Our seminars, trainings, and workshops are supported by continuous coaching and consultation. This enables teachers and instructional leaders receive the support they need to transform instructional ideas and initiatives into specific and sustainable expectations for success.
Coaching and Support
Small team or 1:1 job-embedded guidance that bridges the gap between professional learning and classroom practice, supporting teachers in applying new strategies and continuously improving student learning.
Train-the-Trainer
Train-the-Trainer equips instructional leaders and teachers with the knowledge, skills, and tools to deliver and sustain professional learning within their own school or district. This format builds internal capacity so that the work continues long after the initial training.
Microcredentialing
Maverik Education partners with SkillsForce to offer microcredentials that recognize and verify professional learning. Educators earn stackable, competency-based credentials tied directly to the skills and practices developed through Maverik Education training.
AI-Powered Support
Access and generate customized AI-powered artifacts and assistants built exclusively on the research and work of Erik M. Francis to strengthen, supplement, and support teaching, learning, coaching, and training on demand.
