The plan begins with foundational strategies and intentionally builds rigor and engagement year over year.
Benefits include:
Increased teacher retention through flexible, on-demand support
Stronger peer collaboration and student critical thinking
Confident teachers who can design rigorous, outcome-driven lessons aligned to academic success
Learn how teachers are mastering 25+ strategies per year while increasing instructional confidence and building their student’s essential skills.
Teachers Say…
"Participation is way up - the students like having multiple ways to respond to content. Students are more self-sufficient and are taking ownership over their learning."
"I like the habit of reflecting on strategies. I haven't done that since Induction. I think this would be very helpful for new teachers - those who are in years 1-3 of teaching."
"Students have said they feel more prepared for AP (Advanced Placement) classes next year. Students are becoming more academically confident."

For Educators
Increase Access to Professional Development
Challenge: Professional development is often limited to one-off workshops or conferences that don’t provide ongoing support or actionable strategies
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: The program offers a 3-year system with weekly strategies, resources, and reflection tools at a fraction of the price to send educators to in-person PD options.
Increase Teacher Retention
Challenge: Many new teachers leave the profession within the first five years due to lack of support, burnout, and insufficient training.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: By providing consistent, professional development tailored to teachers’ needs, the program helps teachers feel more confident and supported.
Access Foundational Instructional Strategies
Challenge: Many new teachers, and some veteran teachers, lack the foundational instructional strategies or a clear understanding about how to implement them.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: Teachers receive research-based strategies and resources focused on critical areas like inquiry, student engagement, and building critical thinking skills.
Increase Reflection and Feedback Opportunities
Challenge: Teachers rarely have structured opportunities to reflect on their practice or receive targeted feedback.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: Teachers engage in weekly reflections and surveys that encourage teachers to think critically about their implementation of strategies, and principals receive data to provide focused support.
For Leadership
Increase Time for Teacher Support
Challenge: Administrators often juggle numerous responsibilities, leaving limited time for direct instructional coaching.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: Principals receive actionable data and monthly updates on teacher reflections and progress, allowing them to provide targeted support without needing to personally check in with each teacher.
Provide Consistent PD Opportunities
Challenge: Many schools lack a cohesive, year-round system for professional development, leaving teachers without a clear path to growth.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: Administrators can provide a structured, multi-year program that ensures teachers are continually improving, aligned with the school’s instructional goals.
Maximizing Return on Investment with PD
Challenge: With budgets being reduced, schools may not be able to invest as heavily in developing their staff as professional educators.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: At a fraction of the cost of sending a few staff members to an in person training, administrators can provide their entire campus to aligned strategies.
Aligning Instruction Across Campuses
Challenge: Administrators often struggle to ensure instructional alignment and consistency in teaching quality across grade levels and subjects.
How Your Classroom Academy Helps: The program offers research-based strategies that all teachers can implement, ensuring a common framework for high-quality instruction throughout the school.
