Former educators, working for the neighborhood public school.
Our coaches are former district practitioners. Our assessments come from Harvard, Rutgers, Arizona State and Jim Knight’s research. And in 2026, Education Elements and the Instructional Coaching Group became part of the family, so a district can run the whole cycle of educator effectiveness with one partner.
Our mission is to help the neighborhood public school be the first choice for every family. That happens one educator at a time: a teacher who gets better at the skill a classroom needs, a principal who leads the change, a coach who knows exactly what to coach. We make your district better at making every educator effective.
- Since 2011
- partnering with hundreds of districts nationwide
- Former educators
- teachers, principals and district leaders, coaching in your schools
One partner for the whole cycle.
Most districts buy this work piecemeal from several vendors. We run the whole cycle: diagnose the skills behind a student-outcome gap, design the plan around them, coach exactly those skills, and connect leaders in community.
