Intervention Description	Each school or cluster of schools will hold yearly planning workshops before the school year and reflection workshops after the school year. Initially, consultants will be hired to moderate these workshops. Over time, Teacher Leaders will be trained to run these independently. For complex or new situations, consultants will be brought in.

Audience Expectations	A great level of help and clarity for their plan and reflection.

Benefits	The workshops will simplify the process for teachers by providing as much assistance or review as they need in creating their year plan and reflecting on its success. It also provides an opportunity for leaders to continue to develop their capabilities. The workshops will reduce mental barriers by alleviating any uncertainties and checking arrogant confidence. The set-up cost is high due to the need for external consultants and training opportunities for leaders. As leaders become more capable, the consultants will be infrequently needed, and the workshops will become self-contained. The remaining cost will be for administrator hours in coordinating the meetings.

Intervention Description	Principles will discuss and suggest relevant goals during these meetings to help increase motivation. If the principle of a school is not at a high enough phase, a leader will be tasked with setting a separate meeting to check-in on their goals.

Audience Expectations	For professional development choices to remain autonomous.

Benefits	The discussion and suggestions will help encourage teachers at all phases to continue their progression. It also provides and opportunity for additional attention on the resistant teachers. As these meetings already take place, there will be no added costs associated with this intervention. Continued training of all employees will help more principles reach competency.
