Grounded in Research

Our approach is informed by decades of research on effective professional development

Job-Embedded Learning

Professional development is most effective when connected to educators' daily practice and immediate challenges.

Collaborative Inquiry

Teachers learn best when working together to examine student work, analyze data, and refine instruction.

Sustained Duration

Meaningful change requires ongoing support and follow-up, not one-time workshops.

Active Learning

Educators need opportunities to practice new strategies and receive feedback in authentic contexts.

Content Focus

Professional learning must address specific curriculum content and how students learn that content.

Coherence

Development activities should align with school goals, standards, and other learning opportunities.
