This partner's approach and services

How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Coaching

We are skilled in coaching state, district and school leaders to put the systems and structures in place for HQIM implementation. This coaching includes both content-specific and curriculum-specific feedback and support. Coaching is individualized based upon the specific setting and the needs of the system and the leaders.

PLCs

We support district and building leaders to design the structures to facilitate curriculum-based professional learning cycles across schools. This structure is centered around using their HQIM skillfully, and includes practices such as lesson internalization, preparation and using student learning data.

Consultations

We provide HQIM consulting and coaching to state, district, school and classroom leaders to support instructional coherence and the conditions in which educators are equipped to implement their HQIM skillfully, improving academic success for all students.
