Our approach grounds teacher learning in the teacher’s classroom. The work of improving teaching centers on better understanding who our students are and how they are thinking and learning.

Every day teachers are in classrooms engaging with students and therefore are the best positioned to articulate their professional learning needs. Our approach is grassroots and teacher-led.

Not only does inquiry drive instructional improvement, but it also allows teachers to experience what we are asking them to lead: learning driven by questions.

There is broad agreement in the teacher learning research that students are impacted at the highest rates when teacher learning occurs over time. Our multi-year partnerships engage teachers and leaders in collaborative learning throughout the year with the goal of sustainability.
