Who We Are

We pride ourselves on striking the balance between meeting teachers where they are - in experience level, subject and expertise - and providing rigorous, high-impact coaching that helps radically transform classrooms. Coaching looks like:

• Recurring 1:1 coaching meetings with consistent cycles of modeling of teaching techniques, practice, and feedback
• Observation (in-person and by video)
• Weekly email communication to ensure growth towards coaching benchmarks
• Provision of resources and best practices as needed 

A typical caseload is 3-5 teachers per school site. This is to maximize efficiency as well  as provide a small cohort feel to teachers who may be working on similar skills and practices. Larger caseloads can be accommodated by request, but at least 3 teachers must sign up per site.

Coaching cycles progress along a continuum of teacher development:

• Initial needs assessment & ID areas of focus
• Weekly observation, feedback/debrief & practice
• Status checks every 3 weeks to chart progress towards benchmarks
• Closeout with reflection, learnings, and further areas of development

A single coaching cycle is 8-10 weeks, depending on individual schools’ calendars. We offer continuous coaching and development, but coaching runs in quarterly cycles, each following a path of growth and set developmental benchmarks. However, schools can also opt for multiple cycles within a year for a caseload of teachers.
