Session 4 of the 2026-27 CALIE Certified Educator cohort meets Wednesday, November 18 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm PT. Participants look at how adults learn, change, and adopt new practices, then apply that to designing support, professional learning, coaching structures, tools, and resources that are realistic for the educators they serve. It is the last session before the winter break.

A single training day rarely changes what happens in a classroom the following Monday. Adults adopt new practice when the support fits their workload, answers the questions they actually have, and continues past the kickoff. Since almost every capstone in this program depends on other educators changing something, this session is about designing that support so it lands.
In this session you will:
- Understand what moves adults from awareness to changed practice
- Choose the right form of support for your context: coaching, tools, resources, or professional learning
- Design for the time and capacity educators really have
- Plan follow-through that outlasts the first session
After this session the cohort pauses new content for eight weeks. Participants use the December capstone checkpoint to refine their challenge, clarify who is impacted, and sharpen the purpose of their project before the cohort returns on January 13 to begin the design arc.
