The Academy provides non-evaluative virtual coaching for educators serving students in kindergarten through higher education (K-16). This innovative approach (virtual coaching) addresses several critical challenges faced by educators in today's educational landscape:
-
Insufficient coaching and support: Many educators struggle to receive adequate coaching due to budget constraints, competing priorities, or ineffective coaching strategies.
-
Evaluation-centric feedback: Often, the only "coaching" educators receive occurs during evaluation cycles, which tend to be deficit-based rather than growth-oriented.
-
Implementation difficulties: Educators frequently struggle to implement new instructional strategies mandated by their institutions or learned in workshops, due to a lack of ongoing support.
-
Time constraints: Finding time for professional development without sacrificing planning periods, student interaction, or personal time is a significant challenge for many educators.
