Anchored Learning Cycle
Needs Assessment
Before designing a Professional Learning Plan, we gather data to capture an accurate snapshot of current instructional practice. By pinpointing existing strengths and critical growth areas, we backmap our plan directly from these real-time needs.
Professional Learning Plan
Like a well-designed lesson plan, our Professional Learning Plan backmaps educator support from clear, observable student outcomes. By focusing on what students will actually do rather than abstract goals, we keep professional learning targeted, measurable, and directly tied to student success.
Anchored Learning Cycle
Grounded in improvement science, our Anchored Learning Cycles (ALCs) drive rapid, continuous growth by aligning support with district goals and curriculum needs. Through a cycle, educators anchor practice in targeted workshops, apply new strategies via side-by-side coaching, analyze student work to measure impact, and partner with leadership through non-evaluative Focus Visits.
