Build Leader & Teacher Capacity
Flexible programs customized to focus on individuals’ goals while meeting your organization’s needs

Attracting and retaining skilled teachers is one of the most challenging area educators face in building and sustaining a thriving school environment.1 Research consistently shows that teachers (particularly new teachers) who work closely with instructional coaches are more likely to remain with their schools.2,3 Our high-impact coaching solutions provide educators with the tools they need to grow their skills and build capacity while applying research-based best practices to create positive outcomes in the classroom.

We work closely with instructional leadership teams to create a highly collaborative and personalized coaching plan. Our customized approach is specifically designed to improve conditions for teaching and learning in your schools and to help teachers and leaders achieve positive student outcomes.

“I’ve told so many principals…if you do anything for your school, anything for your faculty, anything for your kids, get an instructional coach.”

Kathie Donovan, Principal
