Coaching
Transform how schools use technology in your district.
Research shows that coached teachers practice new strategies more often, adapt learned strategies more appropriately, and retain and increase skill over time. While training provides knowledge and new information, coaching is designed to shift pedagogy through sustained learning.
Our Professional Development Specialists will provide coaching services to targeted cohorts of teachers through planning, co-facilitating, and reflecting cycles as they implement digital learning strategies that support the district’s goals and PD plan.
Onsite and Virtual Coaching for Educators
When school districts want to increase the rate of digital integration and provide teachers with an additional level of support beyond workshops, we can provide face-to-face coaching services, virtually or in-person. Our coaches can work with your staff to provide individual, small group, and whole-group learning experiences. As problems, questions or opportunities present themselves in your classrooms, teachers will have access to this coach for lesson planning, co-teaching, modeling, and reflection.
Every one of our Professional Development Specialists is a licensed educator and understands the intricacies of integrating new technology into the classroom. We realize there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to professional growth, and that’s why we’ve developed a variety of coaching packages that can fit any school or district’s budget. Available Options Include:
5 days per month onsite or virtual 8 days per month onsite or virtual
