In each of our areas of focus, we share research, insights, and tools with states, school districts, and other partners to help them improve teaching and learning.
We also work to foster greater collaboration so effective programs can be expanded and valuable insights and ideas from specific states, districts, and charter management organizations can be broadly shared. Teaching Teachers are vital to student learning. They want to help their students succeed, but often don’t get the feedback and support they need to do so. Fair, thorough evaluations empower teachers to keep learning and growing within the profession by targeting their strengths and areas for improvement. SISTEMAS Y COMPUTADORES.
