MasterClass 2025-2026

We are excited to bring back our OWL MasterClass! This is for teachers who are wanting to further understand and implement the elements of OWL. Founder of OWL, Darcy Rogers, will be facilitating this monthly session and taking you deeper into OWL values, concepts and implementation. You will have the opportunity to meet together in a small group setting, ask the questions you want and delve into OWL concepts and strategies. This is a rigorous session that will push you to new levels of practice and understandings, invite new perspectives and continue to grow your professional knowledge and skill set.

Content:

Based on over ten years of commonly asked questions and patterns in implementation, high leverage themes have been selected for inclusion in the MasterClass. In true OWL style, you will have a say in how this is developed. A survey will be sent out prior to the training requesting your highest priority items you want to see throughout the year. Below are some areas of interest that can be explored. You will have the opportunity to fill in your own goals and objectives, and the themes for each session will be presented in the first MasterClass session.
