Our Services

 Insight is key! That's why we prioritize a deep understanding of the school community's literacy needs. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, working closely with the school's literacy team to develop a customized plan for implementing targeted literacy support. Our Think Tank experts will then carefully review this plan, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness in achieving the learning community's goals. 

 We design instructional infrastructures for schools and districts to build foundational practices that drive success for students, educators, and the community. By creating instructional programming that supports diverse needs, we ensure personalized learning experiences that promote academic success for all learners. 

In addition, we develop cohesive curriculum frameworks, pacing, and alignment tools and provide resources aligned with Common Core or VA SOL standards to enhance instructional effectiveness. With our curriculum development and instructional design expertise, we craft educational resources that meet content standards and objectives, ensuring a seamless and engaging learning experience. Our approach integrates evidence-based instructional strategies, professional development for educators, and Reciprocal Coaching, all of which foster continuous growth and collaborative improvement. 

 Our professional development programs are designed to support a wide range of instructional methods, blending student-centered teaching with adult learning theory. We focus on creating effective, engaging, and accessible learning experiences for all learners, from K-12 students to educators. Through various adaptable strategies, we help enhance instructional practices that foster deep learning and lead to impactful, lasting results. 

Reciprocal Coaching creates a true partnership between coaches and teachers, focusing on mutual growth and shared value. In this model, the coach and teacher are co-learners, working together to tackle challenges and improve student outcomes. 

Reciprocal Coaching fosters continuous learning and refinement, built on five core categories—inquiry, planning, practice, reflection, and problem-solving. It’s not just about improving instructional strategies but about creating a reflective journey of growth for both the teacher and the coach, empowering educators to continuously strive for improvement and success.
