The staff of Educational Elevation Incorporated offers virtual, hybrid (combination of virtual and in-person) and in-person coaching for teachers, and school-based peer coaching to educational leaders to experiment with new strategies and skills, and thoughtfully reflect and refine their capabilities.
Curriculum and Instruction
Guided by Common Core State Standards, outcomes, goals and expectations, the Educational Elevation, Inc. team has more than 15 years of experience in the research, design and development of curriculum and instruction. Four questions inform design, development and implementation.
They are:
-
What do students need to know?
-
How will we know they’ve learned it?
-
How will we help them get there?
-
What will we do when they struggle?
Embedded in the units of study are 21st Century Skills, technology, differentiated learning techniques and assessments.
