Every school, every teacher, and every student is different—with unique strengths, challenges, needs, and goals. Boost your school’s performance with personalized instructional coaching that integrates your existing technology with instructional best practices.
At Educate, we’ll help you define and reach your school-wide and teacher-specific objectives. Your educators will receive weekly, customized assistance from our experienced Instructional Technology Coaches (ITCs), working in the classroom to integrate ed-tech tools and develop instructional skills.
Here’s how our process works.
Discovering Your Goals & Developing Your School’s Action Plan
Before anything, we listen. Together, we’ll define what success looks like for your school—uncovering your needs, reviewing your existing technology, and identifying strategies to achieve your specific goals.
Then we’ll develop and confirm a detailed Instructional Technology Action Plan to guide your school’s engagement with Educate.
Selecting Teachers & Defining Teacher-Specific Action Plans
Next, you’ll select your first cohort of teachers (typically four to six of them). We’ll help you choose the right cohort for your goals—our ITCs can help anyone improve, from tech-savvy teachers to late adopters still learning the ropes.
We’ll sit down with each one to determine their specific instructional goals, combine them with your school-wide objectives, and create a custom Action Plan to empower each teacher.
Ongoing Coaching
Each ITC will coach a cohort of your teachers individually on a weekly basis. Your educators learn to make the most of your technology and develop new instructional skills through involved collaborative activities, including modeling, reflecting, planning, reviewing student results, and small group training on tech tools that align with teacher interests.
After each semester, your school will receive updates on the progress of your technology goals—celebrating the successes of each teacher, with guidance on how to continue improving. Your ITC will move on to a new cohort of teachers within your school.
Your goal is to improve education through technology and instructional best practices. Our goal is to achieve your objectives—and instill a culture of ongoing development and self-directed leadership. That’s why we equip each teacher with the ability to keep learning, share their insights with colleagues, and perpetuate the drive to improve education. Each cohort creates a new batch of leaders.
Your school understands the value of long-term relationships: while we operate on short-term commitments to afford your school flexibility, the greatest growth occurs as you transform your educational culture over time. Cohort by cohort, Educate helps your school embrace technology, cultivate leadership, and elevate learning for generations of students.
