We align with the models that take a student-centered, partnership approach. Our work is inspired and influenced by the thinking and research of Jim Knight, Elena Aguilar, Diane Sweeney, Cathy Toll, and many others.
"Educational coaches partner with teachers for job-embedded professional learning that enhances teachers' understanding of students, the curriculum, and pedagogy for the purpose of solving problems that impede teacher success and pursuing interests that enhance teacher success." - Cathy Toll
