Teachscape Header

Teachscape is a school effectiveness company, providing a range of solutions that drive increasing levels of student achievement by building the knowledge and skills of instructional leaders and teachers. Our unique combination of expert consultants, technology tools, observation protocols, and online learning modules comprise a research-based methodology that consistently delivers outcomes that districts need to ensure ever-increasing levels of student success.

Unlike professional development companies that measure their work in services delivered, online courses completed, or coaching days spent in the district, Teachscape measures our success the way schools do-- in improved professional learning, increased capacity of instructional leaders, effectiveness of practice, and ultimately, in student achievement.

Teachscape services are unique to each engagement. Typically, there are four general approaches used when working with schools.

  • Programs of Study are an intensive, robust package of year-long services focused on a single content area designed to both deepen content knowledge and build specific skills which will improve teacher practice.
  • Institutes are three days of professional learning opportunities on specific topics, supported by semester-long access to online resources. Institutes are designed to build a common vocabulary and a common understanding of research-based instructional practices in an area of interest.
  • Classroom Walkthrough is an approach to collecting classroom observation data, designed to enrich and expand the work of professional learning communities, as they seek to incorporate best practices into daily instruction and improve student achievement.
  • Online Resources Licensing is for districts that are high-functioning and have strong, internal coaching and professional learning capacities. These districts can simply license the online resources and professional learning technologies needed to support their ongoing work.

Teachscape also offers a number of graduate programs to assist teachers in need of graduate courses or entire masters degree programs. Degree study is offered in a variety of content specialties as well as in grade-relevant programs.
