"We’ve had great success, and EW resources and coaching took us to that level!” 

 

Over the past several years, there’s been notable success in the decision to offer ongoing  professional learning throughout the year versus providing a full day or two of training at the beginning of the school year. These decisions to offer coaching addressed a number of drawbacks  of the one-and-done training scenario.

Cavazos STAAR Scores Killeen ISD

“As campus principal, I set out to develop a plan to support literacy and, in particular, writing on our campus. This  required a long-term vision for systemic implementation. The vision was to have a visible thread of literacy alignment  from classroom to classroom and grade level to grade level, as evidenced by anchor charts, organizers, vocabulary, and  sentence starters that were used in classrooms by both teachers and students.

Through a strategic and flexible coaching  process with our EW trainer over the past 2.5 years, we’ve seen the impact of high-quality instruction in our teacher  and student artifacts and, most importantly, begun developing a shared campus vision for writing that has true teacher buy-in.” 

Yanitze, Oquendo, Principal, Richard E. Cavazos Elementary

“At Ogg, we’ve had tremendous growth in our writing performance, and I have no doubt it has been due to the ongoing training and coaching we’ve received from Empowering Writers.” 

Julia Manzanares, Teacher, T.W. Ogg Elementary 

Teachers and principals alike understand and appreciate the value of ongoing  professional support through coaching. While there’s no overnight solution to  increased achievement, a plan for steady gain in understanding key concepts and  processes can be a critical component.

Praise from Principals

We have ABSOLUTELY seen an improvement in reading comprehension. Students are reading for purpose. They are looking for answers, or at least clues, using a format they know will provide results, they just have to unlock the truth in front of them.

Principal (Massachusetts)

We saw tremendous growth in our writing scores on my campus, but more importantly, we saw great individual growth for our students.
