In our teaching and learning department, we believe the ability to coach and be coached is essential to growth. A coach guides others through feedback, reflection, and encouragement. True impact comes when our practices match effective coaching—not the opposite.

Looking for ways to maximize student engagement and student lift? Watch and learn how 1st grade teacher Stephane explicitly introduces her students to Think-Pair-Share and models it for them before using the routine with content learning (full video below).

Too often, we jump straight to essay writing and wonder why students struggle, especially in the secondary grades. The truth is, essays are only as strong as the sentences that make them up. When we invest time in teaching students, regardless of their grade level, how to construct, expand, and refine sentences, we give them the foundation to express complex ideas with clarity and confidence. #writinginstruction #hochmanmethod #scienceoflearning #literacy

Current reading tests overlook the crucial role of background knowledge in comprehension. It’s time for assessments that truly reflect how students learn to read. Discover a better approach in our latest blog post: knowledgematterscampaign.org…

It was great to back at the Eagle’s Nest with this team @WES_EdisonElem @WESchools today! “How well I teach it = How well they learn it” Anita Archer. Explicit instruction ensures that all students do the thinking all of the time. @mrsnagaj @ESC_Teach
