Who we are · Our team

The people in your schools have done the job.

engage2learn is led by former educators, and coached by them. The leadership team sets the direction, the partner success team stays beside each district from the first conversation on, and former teachers, principals and district leaders do the coaching.

Who coaches

People who have done the job, beside the people doing it now.

  • Former district practitioners

    Teachers, principals and district leaders who have carried the work you are asking your educators to carry.

  • State-certified, with leadership experience

    Coaches with school and district leadership behind them, so they coach the principal as well as the teacher.

  • Inside your schools

    Beside your teachers and leaders, in their classrooms and their PLCs, on the skills the assessment named. Bilingual coaches are available.

  • Partners, not evaluators

    Coaching data opens a conversation about growth, and it is used for coaching alone.

Partner success

The people beside your district, week to week.

The partner success team stays beside each district from the first conversation through the work, so the assessment, the plan and the coaching stay pointed the same way.

What it feels like

Coaching that starts from what a teacher already knows.

Our coaches have stood in front of a class, led a school and run a district department. That is why they coach the principal as well as the teacher, and why they start from the experience a teacher already brings.

One thing I loved is that my coach recognized and honored my experience.
