Math

In early childhood, our coaches collaborate with you to identify and develop what each young child is able to do mathematically, and teach math concepts and skills in explicit and developmentally appropriate ways. We empower educators to build their capacity to implement strategies, interventions, and adaptations to ensure your youngest learners have the most successful academic and social-emotional experience in school and beyond. 

In elementary and middle school grades, we work with you to use your existing math curriculum to advance best practices to design and deliver differentiated instruction in ways that are aligned to the NYS Next Generation Math Learning Standards. The coach and coachee develop strategies to advance mathematical knowledge, skills and concepts, and apply these in authentic ways. Assessment data is used to support teachers to differentiate instruction, target gaps in skills and concepts, and advance areas of proficiency, which ultimately improves the educational experience for all students.

Literacy

In early childhood, developing early literacy skills is paramount to a child’s future achievement. So is providing differentiated support, interventions, and adaptations to intentionally meet the diverse needs of (close the reading gap among) vulnerable (underserved?) inner-city student populations.  Working alongside early childhood educators, our coaches collaborate with you to identify and advance what each young child is able to do, beginning with foundational skills plus early writing skills, and teach those early literacy skills in explicit, developmentally appropriate, and joyful ways. We empower educators to build their capacity to implement proactive strategies and literacy interventions to ensure the youngest learners have the most successful academic and social-emotional experience in school and beyond. 

In elementary and middle school grades, we work with you to use your current reading and writing curriculum to advance evidence-based practices to design and deliver explicit and differentiated instruction aligned to the NYS Next Generation English Language Arts Learning Standards. The coach and coachee collaborate on strategies and techniques that nurture readers and writers who critically engage with texts, are collaborative problem solvers, and effectively communicate using multiple means of expression. Assessment data is used to support teachers to differentiate instruction, target gaps in skills and knowledge, and advance areas of proficiency, which ultimately improves the educational experience for all students.

Pre-Kindergarten

Our youngest learners come to school with a wide and diverse range of academic skills, social emotional competencies, and behavioral needs.  Working alongside your Pre-K educators, our coaches collaborate with you to apply best practices to design standards-aligned instruction, organize ECERs-aligned classroom learning environments, utilize CLASS Assessment-aligned strategies, and use authentic assessment to identify and develop what each young child is able to do, and advance those skills in developmentally appropriate ways. 

Ultimately the coaching supports your Pre-K program to build the capacity to implement proactive strategies and interventions to ensure your youngest learners have the most successful academic and social-emotional experience in school and beyond.

Special Education

As a premier special education organization we  believe whole-heartedly that one size truly does not fit all.  Understanding students’ disabilities, their strengths and needs, are our passion. It is our collective responsibility to be inclusive of each individual student and provide authentic ways for all students to progress and meet learning goals and objectives.

To this end, the coach and coachee innovate and elevate a culture of inclusion for students with disabilities to learn alongside their non-disabled peers which includes collaboration, co-teaching, and universally designing and delivering differentiated instruction that ensures all students have equitable access to the general education curriculum. 

Outcomes Driven

We measure our outcomes by leveraging various sources of data to evaluate the effectiveness of the coaching engagement in achieving the expected outcomes.

Data Driven 

Students strengths and needs guide every aspect of the coach-coachee collaboration.

Specific focus areas and goals are grounded in student data and drive the coaching plan forward. 

Our Mission fuels our passion for all students to have excellent and equitable teaching and learning, especially those students in underserved inner-city communities.

We do whatever it takes to support teachers to differentiate, innovate, and adapt so that all students succeed.

Client Driven

We pride ourselves on the long-lasting relationships we have with our partners. Our collaborative process enables us to connect with educators in ways that build mutual trust, respect and extreme passion for students’ success, which allows for meaningful adult learning to occur.
