The Educator Growth and Effectiveness (EGE) model is a teacher-centered, six-step process supported by ACLS and SABES to improve teachers’ professional practice and help them become as effective as possible at helping students achieve their academic, career, and life goals.
ACLS supports the use of EGE to meet its Policies for Effective Adult Education requirement that programs “create and sustain the conditions that enable powerful teaching and learning to occur” with “effective, self-reflective teachers dedicated to improving teaching practice and achieving student outcomes.”
The EGE PD series will help you determine how to adopt and adapt EGE. It is designed to be of adequate intensity and duration to promote meaningful program change. This series runs from March to June, and while you may decide to implement EGE as you go through the modules this spring, we understand that many programs will use this time for learning and planning so they can implement EGE next fall. Coaching is available upon request to support you and your teams in implementing your process and plan.
Questions? For more information, please attend a one hour Introduction to EGE session on February 25, or contact Program Support PD Center Director Luanne Teller at Luanne_Teller@worlded.org.
- Both novice and experienced program directors, leaders, and teachers who wish to engage in an evidence- and standards-based continuous improvement process that strengthens instruction in order to support their learners’ goals and achieve student outcomes
