Our Approach

Unmatched Individualized Support

With a focus on teachers’ strengths, our highly qualified coaches observe, model, and — most importantly — build relationships. HighScope coaches work to boost teachers’ ability to turn their vast early childhood knowledge into high-quality curriculum implementation through the assessment of teacher’s strengths and the use of descriptive feedback during coaching cycles.

Working together, teachers and coaches set shared goals and build a trusting, collaborative partnership that enhances instruction and ensures students learn at the highest levels. Coaching provides countless opportunities for both teachers and coaches to gain insight, reflect, and grow.
