WORK WITH A COACH
​Since 2002, we've been a leader in providing customized professional development services to K-12 educators, schools, and districts in New York City and beyond. With a blend of deep expertise and a fierce commitment to transforming teacher practice, we work alongside educators to create promising practices for instruction, design strategic systems and structures, and build the capacity of individuals and school teams. 
​
​​Our desire to support teachers and school leaders in their own context and our focus on project-based learning as a powerful tool for student engagement informs all of our partnerships, as well as our signature initiatives.

our philosophy
We recognize that each educator and school is unique, and provide a collaborative approach to discourse and decision-making that cultivates relationships, honors individual perspectives, and encourages working together toward a common goal. All of our coaching is grounded in the growth mindset, which recognizes that support is most effective when areas of strength are leveraged first. This philosophy informs each and every K-12 partnership, as well as our signature initiatives.
