We offer a research-backed model that gets Results.

We’re working to disrupt yesterday’s one-and-done professional development workshops with relevant, job-embedded systems of professional learning. Research shows that effective professional learning uses curriculum as both a lever and a guide, helping link teachers’ actions and ideas to new standards in a concrete, focused way.

Done right, it can close the gap between the experiences we provide for teachers and those we want them to provide for students.

Working with leaders at all levels of the school system, we design ongoing professional learning cycles built around priority standards that build educators’ expertise and confidence in using high-quality instructional materials.

Teachers collaborate weekly to address grade-level standards and diverse needs in their lessons, so every day in the classroom helps every student get ahead. At the same time, we work with leaders to establish supportive school and system-level conditions that enable strong instruction to take hold.

We Design for You.

Partners come to us in different stages of their instructional improvement journey, so we bring options designed to meet you where you are. While we have seen the best results emerge from vertically aligned professional learning systems that address development from the classroom up to the central office in ongoing ways, we also offer:

• Instructional leadership development
• School-based continuous improvement cycles
• Systemwide workshops
• Train-the-trainer learning experiences

We Build for Sustainability.

Unlike typical professional development, our approach takes context, culture, and resources necessary for lasting change into account. As we partner, we use an evidence-based development continuum to assess six conditions that are key to strong professional learning systems and set goals.
