About engage2learn, the makers of GroweLab.

Since 2011, we’ve been on a mission to help the neighborhood public school be the first choice for every family. At engage2learn (e2L), our diverse team of elite educators is passionate about helping public schools design, build, and implement coaching and talent development systems that improve teacher retention & job satisfaction, accelerate student achievement, and increase capacity and momentum for instructional and non-instructional staff to grow in their roles.

For more than a decade, e2L has partnered with public schools to…

Individualized-Pathways
Provide individualized, meaningful professional development for teachers.
Align-to-Competencies
Align coaching to research-based, professional learning competencies.
PD-to-TD
Turn traditional PD into transformative talent development systems.
Connected-Data

We've been celebrating (and quantifying) educator growth in competencies for over 7 years!

Badges are benchmarks of proficiency that school leaders use to recognize excellence and encourage growth.
