Professional learning measured by what changed, not who signed in.
You can prove the hours, but not that they stuck. engage2learn measures coaching by what changes in classrooms, works with your coaches on the Jim Knight coaching model, and turns Title II reporting from a project back into a report.
You built the coaching, and now you have to prove it works.
A director of professional learning owns the PD calendar, the coaching framework and the federal reporting, and is asked every spring whether any of it worked.

- years of Jim Knight’s instructional coaching research, begun in 1996
- 150,000+
- instructional coaches trained through Jim Knight and the Instructional Coaching Group
- 10
- years of peer-reviewed research and five large-scale studies (Rutgers, ASU) behind the Coaching Effectiveness Assessment
Beyond engage2learn’s own work, Matthew Kraft’s meta-analysis of teacher coaching found large effects on teacher practice (Kraft, Blazar and Hogan, Review of Educational Research, 2018).
Coaching aligned to the research that measures it.
Dr. Reddy’s studies are the research base of the Coaching Effectiveness Assessment. engage2learn’s coaching carries ESSA Tier 2 / Tier 3 evidence, the standard a Title II review looks for.
engage2learn was the only coaching organization we found that was already aligned to our research. We know the experts at engage2learn will be able to scale the impact of our validated assessment data insights and provide measurable results for schools.
Questions leaders ask.
Who is engage2learn, and how is it different from a vendor who sells one piece?
engage2learn is one partner that runs the whole cycle of educator effectiveness itself: diagnose, design, coach, and connect to community. Most districts buy those pieces from several vendors; with one partner, the assessment, the plan and the coaching all aim at the same educator skills, and your professional learning team works with one team rather than several.
What does the first conversation involve?
The first conversation is about the student-outcome gap you want to close and what you have already tried. There is no pitch deck. We listen, ask what your data and your schools are showing, and suggest where to start, often with an assessment, because the assessment comes first.
How do we know it is working this year?
Classroom practice is tracked in GroweLab as it improves. Walkthroughs, coaching cycles and educator growth show up during the year, by school, so progress is visible long before the end-of-year results.
How is professional learning measured by what changed, not by hours?
Coaching is recorded in GroweLab as it happens, so you see coaching cycles, the instructional moves observed in walkthroughs and each teacher’s growth, not attendance. The Coaching Effectiveness Assessment adds a research-validated read of how well the coaching itself is working.
