Customized Back-to-School Professional Development

At JES, we believe professional development should feel relevant, inspiring, and tailored to your school’s unique goals. That’s why, before we design a single slide or activity, we start by listening. We meet with school leaders and ask key questions like: “What do you want all your teachers to know this year?” or “What are your top three priorities?”

Whether your focus is onboarding new teachers, deepening the skills of veteran faculty, or supporting early childhood educators, JES offers customizable workshops that meet your needs. For early childhood programs, our trainings also yield Core of Knowledge hours required for certification.

You can choose from our menu of engaging topics, or we can create something brand-new—just for your team. A few examples include:

• Engaging All Learners – Practical techniques to spark curiosity and keep all students active and focused.
• Executive Functioning Fundamentals – Tools to help students plan, organize, and manage tasks more independently.
• From Trunk to Treetop – A fresh look at social-emotional development in young children with strategies for classroom application.

All JES workshops are grounded in the principles of adult learning: they’re interactive, practical, and designed for immediate application in the classroom.

Our staff is available throughout the year to follow up with teachers—answering questions, providing support, and partnering with educators to deepen learning, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure that professional development leads to meaningful, lasting change.

Let JES help you kick off the school year with intention, energy, and impact.
