​​​Transforming Learning from Classroom to Cabinet

We equip districts and teachers to transform every school day into a humming, discourse-based, joyful workshop where everyone learns together, through systems and coaching support and collaborative professional learning.

WHO:
We serve all students P-6, including multilingual learners, early childhood learners, and students with disabilities, by collaborating with district leaders, site administrators, teachers, parents, and community members.​

WHAT:
We partner with districts for curriculum materials adoption over multiple years, developing strategic plans, selecting high quality materials, and integrating them into a broader systemic vision for teaching and learning.

Beyond Buy-In
Case Study: Building Capacity and Consensus​

​We work with districts and schools to advance mathematics learning through Cognitively Guided Instruction, where students build meaningful connections through discourse and collaboration and teachers and administrators learn in practice from one another through a multi-year model.​

Building Internal Capacity - Buena Park School District​​

We conduct district and school-wide reviews of all current instructional systems that impact the teaching and learning of math and ELA and create customized, long term plans for improvement that include district, site, and classroom-level support and engagement.

Foundational Reading Skills Pilot
Math Fellows: Argumentation​

We collaborate with districts to build assessment and data literacy by interpreting, using, and communicating assessment data in illuminating and humanizing ways; incorporating assessment effectively as part of the work of teaching; and communicating progress effectively to families and caregivers. ​

"Our Children are not Numbers"
Assessment Audit
Math Fellows: Rehumanizing Assessment​

We support districts qualifying for differentiated assistance by conducting school-wide reviews, identifying systemic needs, and building capacity to develop and implement a three-year action plan.​

HOW:
We build coherent systems for teaching and learning at the district, school site, and classroom levels, building a think tank of representative leaders and conducting site-based learning walks, professional learning, individual and site-level coaching, collaboration, and leadership support.​

​

At the classroom level, we coach individual teachers and grade level teams in practice as they prepare for, implement, and debrief lessons and other content in math and ELA.

We equip accomplished teachers to serve as content coaches, assisting with the coaching selection process and building the capacity of each coach through in-practice support to communicate effectively and develop goals and learning activities.

As part of each contract, we continuously measure the effectiveness of our work, using data to communicate progress, make ongoing adjustments, and improve on all identified outcomes for the classroom, school site, or district.
