Track Record of Success:
An independent research study conducted at the University of Missouri, found that students in The EA teacher’s classrooms outperformed their peers taught by teachers of similar experience levels. This was true both for teachers who were traditionally developed, and those trained and developed by other alternative programs. The same study indicated that The EA teachers were more likely to stay in the profession than other first-year teachers. This speaks directly to the value and power of our coaching and development practices.
The success of those educators is, in part, a result of strong relationships with our partner schools and the quality of our mentor teachers. It is also a direct result of The Educator Academy’s tandem strategy of providing high-quality professional development and effective, research based instructional coaching. In this way, those teachers act as examples and proof points of the efficacy of The Educator Academy’s coaching and professional development practices.
