Use student data to drive asset-based, research-backed instruction that accelerates learning growth and closes academic gaps.
Focus Area
Making shifts in practice to focus on accelerating student growth requires alignment across your district, support from all of your stakeholders, differentiated training for your teachers, and planning for success. Our learning plans include four distinct phases of implementation to support this change across your district.
Designed to bring your team together and normalize new concepts, language, and practices to accelerate student growth, our launch experiences are best done in person and include the teachers, instructional leaders, and building leaders that will work together to begin enacting these changes in practice.
Teachers work with a coach, matched to their specifications, in order to plan lessons, try strategies, and measure the impact for students. Using the Try-Measure-Learn approach, coaches provide job-embedded support to help educators work on accelerating student growth and achieve measurable outcomes.
Know what success looks like in the classroom, how to support teachers to achieve their target outcomes, and build your ongoing learning plan for continuous improvement. Learning Walks are a non-evaluative tool that helps instructional leaders identify and celebrate teaching practices that accelerate growth.

Provide collaborative learning experiences aligned to the change you want to see in the classroom. Virtual or In-Person Workshops offer targeted learning in a collaborative environment where teachers set goals, identify manageable implementation steps, and create a plan to reflect on results for a sustainable change in practice.
Outcomes are the connecting thread for all of our learning experiences. Each experience is tied to an outcome that makes the change in practice tangible and impactful for students and teachers. For Data-Informed Instruction, we focus on helping educators achieve the below outcomes.
Outcome: I use UDL principles to design instruction that is meaningful and challenging for various learners.
Outcome: I use differentiation strategies to accelerate student growth.
Outcome: I maintain grade-level instruction for all learners by prioritizing learning objectives.
The typical arc to implement a change in practice can be one to three years, depending on your district’s area of focus and size. Our comprehensive learning plans incorporate in-person, virtual, group, and self-directed learning experiences throughout the full school year to align with how adult learners actually learn. Our team will create a learning plan that is tailored to your district’s strategic plan that includes a mix of learning experiences focused on specific outcomes.
Let’s build your comprehensive plan for Data-Informed Instruction in your district, together.
