Integrated Learning

Teachscape coaching services are designed with the express purpose of building internal capacity to promote and sustain professional learning. Teachscape coaches provide on-site and online coaching to instructional leaders, working at-elbow with district and school personnel to deepen the local coaches' understanding of new content and skills, as well as to model, co-plan, and co-lead new approaches to instruction that lead to student achievement.

Teachscape facilitates educators' learning experiences through school- or district-based study groups, professional learning networks (both online and on-site), on-site seminars, mentoring, and professional libraries. Studies include readings and illustrations of research-based practices; reflective professional conversations; journaling; examining student work; building and refining content knowledge; and structured activities, including classroom-based application of concepts and strategies.

Teachscape's unparalleled online professional development resources offer educators across a district a common core of knowledge and skills. Teachers and administrators value the on-demand access to professional learning, communication, and collaboration that supports diverse learning styles, promotes reflection and peer interaction, and scales the professional development, with consistency, to every teacher.
