Positive Change Institute (PCI) is rooted in academic instruction to improve a persons professional capacity which results in introspection and improved performance outcomes. PCI employed a scientific approach to the study of education, with the aim of combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. This includes observation of practice for the betterment of children, teachers, and our larger democratic society.  We are highly experienced to prepare teachers in delivering high quality instruction to students. We will translate this deep knowledge and experience into professional development and strategic supports that positively impact learning outcomes.  Professional learning is the acquisition of any knowledge, skills and behaviors needed to apply and integrate a strategy or product into one’s job or position to advance desired outcomes.

Positive Change Institute has established criteria and qualifiers (Micro- credential) for individuals or instructors, who exhibit or have experience with the performance indicators of targeted desired outcomes, and who facilitate face-to-face and online professional learning with participants. Professional Learning is a permanent change of knowledge, skills and/or behaviors and long term in nature. Professional learning builds the capacity to achieve and sustain new desired performance outcomes that benefit the organization. Positive Change Institute Professional Learning may award in-service points towards renewal of an educator certificate if all the requirements are met pursuant to statutory law, rules, policy, procedures.

Realigning Fractured Systems for Better Professionals

Training and Coaching for Individuals and Professional Teams
Positive Change Institute (PCI) will provide virtual training sessions tailored for individuals and professional teams across a variety of sectors. Each cohort may consist of 4–6 consistent participants, such as managers, coordinators, specialists, educators, or service professionals. Keeping participant teams consistent across sessions ensures continuity, collaborative growth, and effective application of learning.

Each training session will be delivered virtually and will not exceed three hours. Sessions will feature a small-group format that includes interactive workgroup time, allowing individuals to engage in applied learning, develop customized frameworks, and receive real-time feedback and expert guidance. Pre-session assignments (“pre-work”) may be included, and each session will be followed by dedicated coaching and follow-up tasks to reinforce learning outcomes.

Throughout the training series, PCI will provide coaching that supports individual and team development in applying skills and strategies within their respective professional environments. Coaching will be conducted through virtual platforms—such as webinars, video calls, and phone consultations—and will focus on deepening understanding, strengthening implementation, and supporting performance goals.

Coaching sessions will occur once per month and may last up to two hours per team. Scheduling will be arranged in collaboration with each team to accommodate availability. PCI staff will work closely with participants to implement personalized action plans developed during the training, ensuring relevance and real-world application.
