Overview

Educators are faced with the challenge of creating learning spaces that set students up for success and meet their academic, social, and emotional needs. By creating differentiated learning opportunities that are equitable, sustainable, and rigorous, educators can provide support for all students. Our 1:1 coaching methodology centers on the principles of actionable research and job-embedded best practices to provide the most personalized and differentiated approach to meet the needs of our participants. This professional learning is designed to support each participant with what they need, not a one-size-fit all approach. Our Accelerating Growth coaches use the “Try, Measure, Learn” approach to create an ongoing change in practice.
