Our Unique Experience
The current educational landscape features numerous passionate and knowledgeable organizations that provide consulting services to schools. Partnering with TLAC offers you something distinct.
Since its inception, TLAC has been built on the premise that scaling excellence begins with finding, studying, and uplifting Bright Spots–examples of instructional excellence that teachers and leaders can take and adapt to make their own. The closer the context of those examples to a teacher or leader’s own context, the more inspired they are to change and develop.
The same belief animates our partnerships: Through our world class expertise with video and professional learning, we help you find, study, uplift, and scale teacher and leader bright spots from within your school system.
Based on the instructional priorities and student outcomes we aim to achieve together, we build a plan to achieve measurable impacts. Each plan is customized for the partner and leverages:
-
- Our unparalleled video library of Teach Like a Champion teaching techniques
- Your internal bright spots that our video team produces for sustained professional development after our formal partnership ends
- Customized tools and resources to build teacher and leader capacity
- World class in-person and remote professional development
How We’ll Collaborate
Although each partnership is unique, we typically follow this sequence:
- Diagnose via in-person visit from our team of experts the current state of teaching and learning to surface bright spots and areas of opportunity
- Analyze the current conditions and systems for accelerating teacher development
- Set student facing goals and create an implementation plan
- Launch with in-person leader and teacher training
- Monitor progress towards our goals through a regular cadence of check-ins, responsive PD, and collaborative video and artifact study
- Cultivate bright spots to celebrate, propel and sustain progress
- Produce stories and evidence of impact for school leaders to share with internal and external stakeholders
Impact Stories from Partners
Our partnerships are true partnerships: We gain as much insight from the schools we collaborate with as they do from us. In keeping with the founding beliefs of Teach LIke a Champion, we strive to honor and uplift our partners’ work by sharing our learning broadly. Our work together informs video development, content creation, blog posts, and additional resources we create to share with schools around the world.
