One-day:
The one day seminar is an abbreviated two-day seminar teaching the basics of the From LtoJ® process with limited time for practice and application. This format is designed for administrators and teacher-leaders determining if they want to From LtoJ® to become a significant focus in their district.

Two-day:
The two-day seminar is the most common From LtoJ® experience. The outline is:

High Standards: High Success Rates – We can have both at the same time.

The Root Causes of Educational Frustration - the built-in barriers to having both high standards and high success rates. (1/2 day)

The Solutions with Practice and Application - the details of the From LtoJ® process with classroom, grade-level/department, school and district applications. (1 ½ days).

Three-day:
The optional third day is a workday for both teachers and administrators. Often teachers use the time to work in groups preparing key concepts lists, dichotomous rubrics and blank charts so they can begin work immediately upon returning to their classrooms. Administrators either participate in the decisions or they use the time to create the 5 graphs for results data that are shared in the seminar.
