for K-12 Teachers
One-to-one instructional coaching has shown to be one of the biggest levers for growing teacher practice. Growing research demonstrates that coaching can lead to:
- Increased high-quality instruction

I really like how supportive my coach was and how she encouraged us to follow our own paths. I love seeing how my peers owned their practices too.

It was nice to have someone observe me while teaching in order to get feedback on my lessons. My coach talked to the students during my lessons, so she was able to bring insight on how some of my students did during the lesson.

Our Instructional Coaching Framework
Supporting teachers in grades K-12, our research-based coaching program is designed to support teachers individually in meeting their highest-priority instructional goals. Our 1:1 approach is different than most coaching programs: we support teachers’ growth in their instructional skills and family engagement practices—bridging learning in the classroom and at home.
PowerMyLearning’s Framework for Teachers focuses on four key domains:
Learning
Environment
Instructional
Planning & Delivery
Data-Driven
Decision Making
Student
Agency
Our Coaching Model
Our model is delivered to individual teachers over a sustained period to strengthen both teacher practice and student outcomes. Our coaches are experienced former classroom teachers who have expertise in research-based instructional practices.
They are also experts in building relationships—with both new and experienced teachers— where they create safe spaces for teachers to take the risks needed to improve their practice.
