Our content area coaches work alongside teachers to elevate student learning and instructional practices. Our coaches teach, model, and create resources that meet the unique needs of all learners, including students who are meeting, exceeding, and approaching instructional expectations. We provide coaching support in ELA, History, Math, Science, and CTE content areas.

We believe students should rehearse for the reading, writing, and communication demands needed for college and career success. We work with schools in analyzing data to identify literacy gaps and provide them with research-based reading, writing, and discussion routines to increase student literacy performance.

We work with schools to design and deliver professional learning sessions that address learning gaps and provide teachers with the ideas, tools, and resources needed to elevate learning. We create the PowerPoints, agendas, and student-facing resources needed for instructional leaders to turnkey and deliver excellent professional learning experiences. We also facilitate professional development training on culturally responsive education and equitable literacy practices.

We work with instructional leaders and their teams to develop a clear instructional vision, focus, graduate profile, instructional framework and daily classroom expectations. We also help leaders use "good data" to create systems that help to monitor and execute instructional goals.

We design customized curricula and assessments that reflect a school's unique mission, vision, values, needs, and themes. We use student identity, voice and interest to design culturally responsive curricula and assessments. The customized curriculum and assessments we've created for schools have included a Science in the City Regents Review course, Teaching Black History, Environmental Justice and Queens, and Financial Literacy for Youth. We carefully craft texts, tasks, and topics that are relevant, rigorous, and engaging to students.
