Professional Development
Building Capacity

Professional Development

CTT can provide professional development programs that build lasting capacity in school culture, restorative practices, and whole-child support — tailored to your school's specific context and goals.

Our Approach to PD

Professional development that sticks.

CTT's professional development is grounded in real school experience. Our facilitators have worked inside large urban schools — not just studied them. Every session is designed to be immediately applicable, practically grounded, and connected to the specific context of your school community.

Core Focus Areas

What we teach.

Restorative Practices

Building the skills and mindsets to address conflict, repair relationships, and re-engage students — without defaulting to punitive responses.

  • Restorative circles and conferencing
  • De-escalation techniques
  • Trauma-informed communication
  • Reintegration planning after incidents

School Culture & Climate

Developing shared language, structures, and practices that create a school environment where students and staff can thrive.

  • Climate assessment and goal-setting
  • Positive behavioral frameworks
  • Staff roles in culture building
  • Sustaining culture across school years

Data-Informed Practice

Helping school teams use climate and intervention data to identify patterns, set priorities, and measure progress over time.

  • Reading and interpreting climate data
  • Using intervention logs for planning
  • Setting measurable culture goals
  • Communicating outcomes to stakeholders

Whole-Child Support Approaches

Equipping educators and support staff with frameworks for addressing the social-emotional and academic needs of the whole child.

  • Social-emotional learning integration
  • Identifying and supporting at-risk students
  • Coordination with school counselors and IEP teams
