What We Do

We specialize in Learner-Centered Instruction that ensures students are not passive recipients of knowledge but active participants in their learning. At its core, this approach prioritizes student agency, voice, and ownership, recognizing that students must read, write, speak, and think critically to thrive both personally and professionally. In a truly learner-centered environment, everyone in the educational community, students and practitioners alike, is engaged in continuous learning. The goal is an education that empowers people to be fully human - to think, to question, to connect, and to lead lives of meaning, choice, and dignity.

  • Needs Assessment and Instructional Visioning

    We partner with instructional leaders to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment through classroom visits, data analysis, and focus groups to identify instructional trends and gaps. Based on the findings, we co-develop an instructional vision with clear priorities and benchmarks to drive impact.

     We support schools through every phase of curriculum implementation, including adoption, piloting, launching, and sustaining. Our job-embedded support helps educators not only learn and facilitate the curriculum but also deepen the pedagogical practices required to implement it with integrity and student-centered impact.

Impact

  • "I feel more empowered to take steps toward helping our school have a strong instructional vision for next year and to bring everyone onboard so we are all aligned with the same goal. This is especially true in regards to MLLs and how we can best support them and adapt our environment to be better suited towards their needs."

    Academic Coach, Salinas City Elementary School District

  • “Tracy has been excellent in moving the needle in Aldine by continuously pushing our coaches to address the mindsets and beliefs of teachers, Instructional Specialists, and administrators in order to create a more rigorous classroom experience for students. She has done this through our coaching conversations, learning walks, and professional development opportunities-- both the ones she facilitated and the ones we would collaboratively present to others.”
