WHY US?

One size fits all?
Parents, and school administrators expect teachers to teach students not content, and excellent teachers embrace the idea of planning instruction based the students’ needs. Excellent lesson planning requires an understanding of each individual student’s achievement, learning styles, home culture, deficiencies and intellectual gifts.

We believe that professional learning should be designed the same way.

Mary Jacobs Associates rejects the one-size-fits-all model, and instead carefully crafts professional development from the ground up – based upon the needs and gifts of those who will attend the sessions. This is not a time-consuming process for the system professional learning staff; rather, Mary’s team will do needs assessments, goal analysis and session planning with just a handful of meetings and other communication. Your exceptional professional learning experience will develop with great economy of time and little interruption to your day!
