Your support helps us do more.
Professional Development
Based on our experience providing services to school leadership and instructional staff, Replications has developed the Essential Features of Schools (EFS) system for working with partner schools and districts. EFS is an integrated system of tools, practices, and professional development programs designed to promote the habits of mind that lead to the development of continuous improvement and Growth Mindset school cultures: cultures in which everyone holds the belief that they are able to increase talent, ability and even intelligence through curiosity, learning, and discipline.
• Standards-based 21st century thinking curriculum
• Quality instruction that is research-based and differentiated
• Sustainable leadership
To assist educators in developing 21st century thinking curriculum, Essential Features of Schools (EFS) system has programs that serve as model curricula and pedagogy for educators to implement and emulate. It also has programs that assist educators in increasing the impact of existing programs and curricula. All EFS programs are grounded in research on cognitive engagement. In particular, we draw from and align our programs to the work of Carol Dweck’s self-efficacy theory and Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy for critical thinking and learning. Replications EFS programs apply the research of these two seminal thinkers so we both teach and model how to fully engage, scaffold, and differentiate learning experiences so all learners fully engage in standards-based 21st century curriculum.
Individually, our professional development offerings are designed to help participants improve their job performance and impact on student outcomes. Collectively, they form a system of complementary programs and practices that can lead to profound organizational change and continuous improvement.
Academic Enrichment Programs

Our program offerings are designed to nurture the whole child, help students recognize and pursue their interests, and provide them with a safe and caring environment in which to interact with their peers and learn from caring, responsible adults.
