Adoption happens in schools. engage2learn is built for both: the leader who has to defend the decision, and the coach who has to live with it.

Get into more classrooms, get feedback to teachers sooner and keep every priority moving, on one platform that also holds your coaching and professional learning.
Principals and district leaders use GroweLab most for two things: walking classrooms and moving the plan. Ask Jim works beside them in both.
A quick walk is one or two clicks, on a form built around your priorities, with a level-of-implementation measure rather than a yes or no. Ask Jim drafts the write-up in about 90 seconds, and you edit and send it while the lesson is still fresh.
Classroom observations
School improvement plans, HQIM rollouts and five-year strategic plans, each priority with an owner and a progress record, so you see what is moving and what is at risk. Start at any point in the year.
Implementation plans
Ask Jim is the only AI tool trained on Jim Knight’s research and expertise in instructional coaching: 30 years of it. It drafts feedback, answers questions at any hour and supports teachers where coaches are stretched, monitored by experienced educators and run inside a closed system.

GroweLab is engage2learn’s instructional leadership multiplier, the platform principals and district leaders use to get into more classrooms, give faster feedback and keep every priority moving. It also holds professional development management, instructional coaching, a resource library and reporting in one system, so leaders accelerate teacher growth while saving time and money.
Leaders use GroweLab most for classroom observations and implementation plans. Observation forms turn a quick walk into one or two clicks with a level-of-implementation measure, and Ask Jim drafts the write-up in about 90 seconds; implementation plans give every priority in a school improvement plan, an HQIM rollout or a five-year strategic plan an owner and a progress record. A district can start either at any point in the year.
GroweLab replaces 3 to 6 other professional learning tools, consolidating everything into one cost-effective solution. The tools it usually replaces are PD management, observation and feedback, coaching logs, strategic planning or CIP tracking, a PD catalog and project or task management; some districts have saved over $300,000 by making the switch.
GroweLab is designed for district-level leaders, principals and school leaders, instructional coaches and specialists, and classroom teachers. Each role has its own view: analytics for district leaders, coaching and observation data for principals, rosters and session tools for coaches, and a growth portfolio with badges for teachers.
Yes. GroweLab is coaching-model agnostic, so it fits an existing one-on-one, small-group or PLC coaching program, whether it follows Jim Knight’s Impact Cycle, Get Better Faster or engage2learn’s own Growe Coaching, with custom coaching logs and walkthrough forms aligned to your priorities.
Ask Jim is GroweLab’s AI, the only AI tool trained on Jim Knight’s research and expertise in instructional coaching, so using it is like having Jim Knight sitting beside you. It draws on 30 years of his research rather than internet search results, and experienced educators monitor it. Ask Jim drafts a walkthrough write-up in about 90 seconds and the principal reads, edits and sends it; it also resolves 95% of educators’ questions.
Onboarding for principals takes about 30 minutes. Districts start with the platform and add virtual workshops or onsite facilitation from engage2learn when they want more support.
GroweLab’s AI runs inside a closed system. Your district’s observations, videos and other artifacts never leave engage2learn’s secure infrastructure and are never used to train AI models.
Tell us how your leaders walk classrooms and track the plan today, and which tools your district runs, and we’ll show you GroweLab with your own walkthrough form, plan and coaching model in it.
