PD That Works ← Back

The short version

Daily coaching that makes PD stick.

We build the workshop. We coach the teachers every day after. We show the principal what's changing every 30 days.

The problem

PD doesn't usually stick.

Schools invest. Teachers attend. The workshop ends — and within weeks, practice drifts back to where it started. The gap between what gets taught and what actually changes in classrooms is the problem nobody has solved.

It's not a money problem. Schools spend an average of $18,000 per teacher per year on professional development. Only 30% of teachers show measurable improvement after it.TNTP, The Mirage

The work

Here's how.

Three things we do.
How it works

Three things we do.

i.
We build the workshop.

A kit is a fully scripted workshop we build — nothing to write, nothing to design. Any coach can lead it after an afternoon of prep. Hands-on, not PowerPoint.

ii.
We coach the teachers every day after.

The AI helps each teacher choose a focus, then carries recent private conversations into brief daily coaching. It can ask what happened next instead of starting cold each day.

iii.
We show the principal what's changing.

What teachers are still working on, what they say is shifting, where the resistance is — anonymized, aggregated, ready to land on a leader's desk at Day 30, 60, 90. These are teacher coaching cycles. Real change in a school takes years. This is the daily work that compounds into it.

The daily reality

Day after day.

What it makes possible

The same product, two sides.

Teachers wanting to be good at this and schools wanting school excellence are the same thing seen from two angles.

For schools

PD spending that produces evidence. A coach for every teacher without hiring one. Reports that show what teachers are still working on, what they say is shifting, and where the resistance is. Teachers who keep growing — and a record of it.

For teachers

A coach in your pocket that works from the teaching focus you choose and the recent conversations you've had. Five minutes a day. The help you need in December, when the August workshop has faded. Your growth, your record, yours.

Sounds like which side?

Pick the door that fits.

If you're not sure, start with the side that better describes what you do every day.
