What We Do

We build educator and leader capacity through a customized and ongoing coaching approach to uncover and address inequities and improve learning for all students. GSP coaches use a tailored coaching approach that involves understanding the unique context, assets, and challenges of your school or district system. We utilize research-based tools such as Elements of Effective Instruction and Global Best Practices, as a framework to inform school improvement strategies. We understand that no single school improvement model will be a perfect fit for every school and community, so we are continually refining and adapting our strategies—each based on evidence-based practices and the specialized needs of our schools and partners—to achieve measurable gains across three distinct components of a school and district community:

OUR COACHING PROCESS

Our team of senior associates and coaching associates serve as school coaches, who work to build capacity and help educators address inequity and improved learning for all students. We utilize Global Best Practices, a research-based self-assessment tool, as a framework to inform school improvement strategies. Our coaches begin by gaining an understanding of your system, taking into consideration existing teaching and learning practices, organizational design, leadership capacity, and patterns of stakeholder engagement.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Our coaches are former teachers, principals, and district leaders with years of in-school experience. And we know how different every school and district can be. That is why we tailor our strategies to the needs of your unique school community—no matter where you are in the U.S. Our responsive, adaptable coaching model lends itself to both in-person and remote school coaching, which means we’re never far away.
