Do you have training needs now?4-Day Training

During the school year we often organize what we call catch-up seminars.  These four day seminars are usually much smaller than our regular summer seminars.  Catch-up seminars afford districts and universities the opportunity to have a few teachers and/or administrators trained who either missed the opportunity last summer or can’t wait ’til next summer.

In cooperation with the Northern Wells Community Schools, Bluffton, Indiana we have created another excellent opportunity for individuals and teams to learn about, and begin applying, Langford Quality Learning principles and practices.  This seminar provides a practical ‘how to’ approach to optimizing student learning based on current brain research and the Deming Method.

Learn about:

  • Systems Thinking applied to classrooms and school management.
  • 60 Tools and methods which will transform your classroom and staff development.
  • Data Driven Classrooms and Decision Making.
  • Intrinsic Motivation and how to make it happen.
  • Learn and apply the PDSA problem solving process.
  • 21 Century Curriculum management.
  • Project oriented learning.
  • Performance Learning.
  • Much, much more.

Dr. Myron Tribus once asked Dr. W. Edwards Deming what it takes to succeed.    His reply was swift and to the point.

“A critical mass of people who understand and who work consistently.” – Dr. W. Edwards Deming

Welcome to langfordlearning.com where a critical mass of people, who understand Quality Learning, work consistently to improve learning.

Experience Teaches Nothing without Theory

In Tennessee, Following the Rules for Evaluations Off a Cliff

“So you would think that educators like Will Shelton, principal of Blackman Middle School here, would be delighted. The state requires that teachers be evaluated by their students’ test scores, and that principals get into classrooms regularly to observe teachers.

Mr. Shelton is a big believer in both.

But not this. “I’ve never seen such nonsense,” he said. “In the five years I’ve been principal here, I’ve never known so little about what’s going on in my own building.” Mr. Shelton has to spend so much time filling out paperwork that he’s stuck in his office for long stretches.”
