Below are flagship examples—our Teaching & Learning team will gladly adjust scope, cadence, and delivery format to match your district’s calendar and capacity

Essential Standards, Learning Progressions & Common Assessments

We guide grade-level or content teams through selecting “power” standards, mapping clear learning progressions, and designing common assessments that align to district priorities and state requirements. Together we build living documents that travel with teachers from unit planning to PLC data reviews, ensuring coherence and equity across classrooms.

Typical timeline: 3–6 months

  • Phase 1: Discovery and Collaboration

  • Phase 2: Workshops & Work-Sessions

  • Phase 3: Assessment Design & Calibration

  • Phase 4: Implementation Check-ins

First steps: Schedule a 60-minute kickoff to get more detailed information, set goals, and assemble the core team.

AI Policy Creation & Implementation

From drafting vision statements to writing classroom guidelines, we help leadership teams craft policies that harness AI’s benefits while safeguarding academic integrity, privacy, and equity. We facilitate stakeholder listening sessions, offer model language vetted by WA districts, and provide PD that turns policy into daily practice.

Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks

  • Phase 1: Stakeholder Audit
  • Phase 2: Draft & Feedback Cycle
  • Phase 3: Board / Union Review
  • Phase 4: Rollout PD (Recommended ongoing AI PD plan for staff, admin, and community)

First steps: Complete our short policy-readiness survey and set up a meeting to discuss existing district policies, culture, and readiness.

4-Day Week System PD Planning & Facilitation

Switching to a four-day student week frees one day for staff growth—if it’s planned strategically. We co-design a year-long professional-learning calendar that aligns initiatives, builds teacher voice, and combats mid-year fatigue, then facilitate or coach as needed. Expect balanced doses of workshop time, collaborative planning, and job-embedded follow-ups.

Typical timeline: Year-long support

  • Phase 1: Collaborative Planning with District Staff
  • Phase 2: Calendar Design and Session Development
  • Phase 3: Monthly or quarterly PD delivery/coaching

First steps: Provide your academic-calendar draft and district strategic plan; schedule a planning retreat with key leaders to map goals to PD days.

Digital Navigation Support

Empower families and community members to thrive in a digital world. We train “digital navigators” to assist with navigating school systems, device setup, and cybersecurity basics—leveraging local libraries, community centers, and multilingual resources. Programs can run as single workshops or a certificate series.

Typical timeline: 4–12 weeks

  • Phase 1: Curriculum Customization
  • Phase 2: Train-the-Trainer Workshops
  • Phase 3: Community Sessions
  • Phase 4: Impact Survey & Debrief

First steps: Schedule a kick-off meeting to engage in a needs assessment and identify target audiences.

Inclusionary Practices & Assistive Technology

We pair Universal Design for Learning with free/low-cost assistive tech—speech-to-text, reading supports, alternative access devices—to ensure every learner can access rigorous content. Services range from demo days to classroom co-teaching and IEP team consultations, always grounded in evidence-based practice.

Typical timeline: 2–4 months

  • Phase 1: Needs Assessment & Prioritization
  • Phase 2: Tool Trials & Staff Training
  • Phase 3: Classroom Coaching Cycles
  • Phase 4: Sustainability Plan Workshop

First steps: Schedule a kick-off meeting to engage in a needs assessment and identify target audiences.

PLC Support & Facilitated Coaching Models

We reinvigorate Professional Learning Communities through goal-setting protocols, data digs, and live coaching—ranging from side-by-side teaching to learning walks. Customizable cycles keep the work teacher-owned and evidence-driven, building a culture where inquiry and feedback are routine.

Typical timeline: Semester-long or year-long

  • Phase 1: Kickoff Workshop
  • Phase 2: Monthly PLC Facilitation
  • Phase 3: Classroom Coaching Rounds (as requested)
  • Phase 4: End-of-cycle Showcase & Next-Steps Planning

First steps: Schedule a 60-minute kickoff to get more detailed information, set goals, and align vision with admin team.
